As long as you got these 2 bases covered, to be able to read comfortably in pitch black rooms, and to be able to turn it off in daylight; you have basically covered all possible situations.
I don't see the need for making the led backlight as bright as tablets or LCD's.
The light makes a tremendous improvement in readability even in daylight, especially the rather weak daylight we get during a British winter. It significantly increases the contrast - and hence the readability - of the screen.

Please - I'm not trying to be picky, but it is NOT a backlight. A backlight is behind the screen. The PW has a frontlight. It's no harder to use the right word than the wrong one, is it?
