What I like to know if the KPW2 changes the following...
If I would raise the Kindle's frontlight more than mentioned, the screen does become brighter and whiter of course, but in a very strange way. As I said in another post some time ago, it looks like "milk between two sheets of glass with letters floating in it". It looks really strange, and the screen becomes really hard to read, at least for me. Also, the letters seem to look smaller, but of course they aren't.
Does the KPW2 change this? I'm assuming that if I'm experiencing a too bright frontlight like this that there are more people around to whom it looks the same.

I read the same way in bed, keep the PW2 at 6, the same setting than former PW1. Never did try to increase the light, will test tonight and let you know tomorrow.
The few times I read in complete darkness, I had the light down to 3-4 and did not find it too comfortable. BTW it makes a great light if you get up at 2-3 am and do not want to wake up anybody else.
