Thanks for mentioning F.lux. I recall reading about it a while back but never tried it. I'm planning to install it tomorrow.

I did a quick search for an iPad equivalent, but nothing promising turned up. I'll keep looking. Much of my evening and night reading is on the iPad and I've wondered if the 'glow' has been disrupting my sleep.

If anyone has suggestions for non-jailbroken iOS devices, please share. Thanks.

Yes, please! Even if it is not a software solution (like some kind of physical filter I could place on top of the screen.)

I've got f.lux on my laptop, but I predominantly use my iPad in the evenings.

I figured there'd be a software limitation, so I was envisioning a physical filter as well. Something like those privacy screens that 3M markets to business travelers for laptops.

I just sent an e-mail to Marco. Hopefully he'll be able to implement this in to InstaPaper.

There are a few problems with this, chief among them being that tinting the screen with amber probably requires some iOS API hack that's probably not public.
