What about the dark setting for you? I was wondering if the light is different on each unit, because someone said they used 14 or something way up there in the dark.
When I tried to read in the dark, I found that whatever setting the PW light was on, so low that the background looked grey or high resembling an lcd screen, I still found my eyes aching and gritty after a while. For me, it seems that it is a lit screen with no ambient light that causes the problem, irrespective of whether the screen is front or back lit. I think we are all different and know that other people don't find this a problem at all.

I am happy with the PW as it allows me to read with a fairly low level of ambient lighting which I couldn't do, (without straining my eyes), using either my Kobo Touch or Sony PRS-650. I tried the Kobo Glo but the light couldn't be turned down low enough, (can turn off but not down), but the PW with light on 1 or 2 is perfect.
