It is a personal preference thing, of course, but I also need to fiddle with the PW light to keep it from being too bright (often to the point that it is actually a little too dark but that's the way I think it is "best"). I usually vary between 6-10 nowadays.
My comment to the broader discussion:
Definitely there is a more screen-like ambience with PW2 than with basic, non-lighted Kindles. Also, new basic Kindles have blacker text than PW1 or PW2, that is definitely the observation of many.
Last night I read in darkness at 6. It was OK, and the light was perfectly acceptable evenness wise etc. (didn't bother me), but not really that great an experience, quite like a dark LCD. I think I may go back to reading on my $69 Kindle "4B" in darkness with the lighted cover. But the PW2 is nice for its other features, like touch page change and touch dictionary/footnotes, in my opinion.
