I use Screen Filter, an app you suggested way back when we had Fire 1st gen units. It behaves well when reading, but that is with the auto bright turned off.
Also one other thing I noticed is that the Kindle for Android app will not allow me to adjust the light level from within the app if auto bright is on. If auto bright is on the app tells you to turn it off to be able to adjust the light level, and it directs you to the setting to turn it off.

Ditch Screen Filter. It's outdated and causes all kinds of problems. You want Screen Dim by Omega Centauri Software. 99 cents but worth it. The developer is a member here. I'd be lost without it on my devices but the HDX doesn't need it because the brightness goes too low without it. I took it off but I have it on everything else. It has presets and you can put those on your home screens. So you turn it on or off at a touch. It's just a really nice app.
Android's auto brightness has a long way to go before it's useful.
