Not with the Kindle.
Should be the same with the Sony reader, not sure which technology the Nook uses.
The main reason is those two do not have a backlight. Basically if there is no light in the room, you can't see the screen ( but you can read on the beach with no reflections issues). The drawback being you need a bedside lamp to read in bed...
The Ipad is like traditional computer screens though so it should tire your eyes after a while...
Honestly despite all the marketing by Apple the Ipad is not a good e-book reader. It's a little too heavy for my taste, you can't hold it in one hand, and it tires your eyes and has limited battery life...And personally I hate having to touch the screen to turn a page.
The only thing I like on the Ipad is the way it presents your book collection which is a tonn better than the Kindle ) no color isn't an issue when reading the book but it would be nice to see the books covert in color).
