So, I downloaded your app. Set the brightness to 10%. Then I went to the terminal app and entered the command you gave. Then I tried nook app and it did not adjust brightness. Just to be sure, I tried the Kindle app and that behaved the same. The brightness slider did not change the brightness.

Interesting. I just did basically the same on my A43 and the brightness slider in the Kindle app has no difficulty changing the brightness.
Anyway, I will be happy to add a lock button, if I can find a place on the screen to fit it! (No problem on your Nook, but some people have smaller screens.)
Here is the functioning I envisage. When the lock function is on, SuperDim locks the brightness control after exiting. It then unlocks it when the device has turned its screen off (I hope it won't block the screen from turning off; from what you said, it only blocks the screen turning on; but that may differ from device to device maybe). And it then re-locks it when the device has turned off.
You can always do an emergency unlock by rebooting, since SuperDim does not start up on boot. (That's a deliberate choice in case someone sets brightness to a level so low that nothing can be seen on the screen.)
