As i mentioned, i wasn't able to use marvin on iOS 4.3 as yet, but yesterday i have tried it on iPad1 with 5.1 and there are number of epub/pdf readers which seem to use system brightness control and not just color dimming.

Besides Marvin i found it in PerfectReader 2 Lite for pdf's.

In Foxit pdf reader also, but its lowest brightness is still to bright for my taste (for 1-2 hour reading in low-lighted room) i.e not as dark as in marvin, perfect reader 2 or iBooks.

But it is not such a big problem because there is not even need for night-mode as long as there are some cool sunglasses around

For reading in the sun on iPad1, good anti-glare screen protector is must-have and some sunshade is more than welcome also.

I've got several home-made cardboard sunshades and brightness is usually on about 50 % for pleasant reading in the sun, whereas without sunshade and anti-glare protector even 100% brightness is not as good.
