That said, I am still a bit surprised the brightness lock works for you. Maybe it depends on the app? Can you try an experiment for me? Set the correct brightness in SuperDim, and exit SuperDim. Then, using either a terminal app or an adb shell, execute the following commands:
su
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
(You'll probably get a root privileges prompt after the "su".) Then see if that locks in the brightness for you.

I suspected the same but couldn't think of a way to find out. I am a developer but I don't develop for Android. So I do not have the SDK to do what you said above.
The brightness lock works across all apps. I tried it. Most apps don't adjust brightness so the setting is moot. But almost all the ereaders save their own brightness and after I lock it, none of them can change it.
I wish there was an unlock button. So I could lock, read, unlock and sleep.
