joblack--you can't disable the sidelight completely--well at least not unless you open up the Kindle and disconnect it. But you can turn it way down. Of course that doesn't work if you want to read in the dark--which is when you'd notice the light distribution. But as I've mentioned in my previous posts, to me, the pictures look like a good screen. Pretty close to what my KPW2 looks like at light level 10 and I'm very happy with it.
