Also, one of the betas I sent you had a bug that resulted in black screens in some circumstances. The latest version doesn't do that.
I made ScreenDim so that with minimum contrast and brightness settings, you can still just barely see the screen on the Fire and my Archos. I limit how low the contrast can go, but I don't limit how low the brightness can go. But there is a menu option to limit how low the brightness can go. It's buggy right now, though (it takes its inputs in x/255 units, even though the slider is calibrated in percent).

It's 0.05 I am using. My phone goes black anything below 6.3 It is a LG Vortex with Android 2.2
I tried putting in the min bright setting to 7 but it doesn't work. However the min setting of 6.3 isn't lower then my default minimum brightness setting. So only the contrast settings does anything more on my phone. So it varies by device.
The black screen isn't a bug I just messed up by sliding it too far and then didn't know what to do. Restarting fixed it but then when I started SD back up I had a black screen again and had to restart it then clear the app's data. Afterward I was able to play with the settings which on my phone doesn't do much with the brightness control. Contrast works okay.
I just spent the night with SD on the Fire and I had it once kick out but when I went to the notification bar and brought up SD's settings then hit the back button it was dim again. Screen Filter sometimes does the same thing on the Fire.
I'm not sure if it's fixable but I am use to being blinded when Screen Filter kicks out so it's not a real issue for me.
I am using the min setting on the Fire to read at night. The contrast slider works great when trying to read on the Kindle app. The min brightness by itself it not dim enough for the Amazon's ideal of reading colors but using the contrast slider really helps and is much better then Screen Filter because the text doesn't look as washed out.
It really is a great app.
