The hardware brightness swipe is a good news/bad news thing.

It's good that it actually turns down the backlighting instead of just changing to a darker background color.

The bad news is that the change is "sticky" - your backlight does not go back to normal when you leave the app.

I left a suggestion on the MegaReader feedback page to save the "current" backlight level when entering the app and restoring it to that level when leaving the app (by task switching or closing the app). Even better would be bi-directional - if you return to the app, go back to the "in-app" brightness level.

On the iPhone, the brightness levels seemed to work perfectly - from very bright to quite dim. The iPad did not get very bright, though - it was always a bit dim. (Default black on white text mode - no odd colors).
