I usually keep the light on about 15, but occasionally I'll turn it all the way down just to compare, and I can't believe the difference. Even if there seems to be plenty of ambient light in the room, it still helps to use the light on the PW to make the background appear white rather than gray.
After owning the PW for only about 6 weeks, I have decided I will never purchase a reader without a front-lit screen again.
I'm glad you're enjoying your new PW, and hope you get many happy hours reading pleasure with it. Enjoy!

Thanks! If I compare the PW to my K4B without the light. The K4B wins hands down on contrast but with the light and non black text the PW is still easier to read on. Even with tired eyes I have no problems reading.
I read in the dark last night for about an hour and half. I had no problems. I brought it down to a 6. Hubby said it didn't bother him which was a relief. My original worry was the flash from the eInk might but it's barely noticeable.
I guess each unit is different but on mine 15 is too bright! 8 is perfect for normal lighting and 6 for dark reading.
