I understand your pain. I always said until another device is as integrated into calibre as the Sony devices are I was going to stick with Sony.
I just purchased a Asus Nexus 7 because the developer responsible for much of the Sony integration was about to write an Android app (
Calibre Companion) with his son to integrate calibre and Android devices. I wasn't disappointed. The Automatic metadata management, collections, series etc.. just work.
I am 53 years old, had Lasik surgery on the eyes and I am extremely sensitive to backlit screens so I didn't expect this to be my new reading device. I was wrong.
I am able to drop the brightness of the display way down. I use Moon+ Reader which has a slew of options and multiple themes. I use a variation on their Nature theme for normal reading and a variation of one of their night time themes for reading in bed. I say variation because I have adjusted font sizes and on one theme even font color to get things where I want them then saved my settings. Another plus of Moon+ Reader is the ability to easily swipe the left edge and adjust the display brightness from within the actual book.
The Paperwhite looks great, but losing the full integration you experience with your Sony device could hurt. Wait for it to come out and see how things develop.
Good Reading!
