Well, who needs two fingers, if one might be enough.
I have a rooted Tolino Shine, which is a German eBook-Reader with an infrared screen, and I installed AlReader on it. In AlReader it is possible to adjust the backlight with a sliding gesture. I remember a thread in this forum with a description how to install a Tolino Android image on a Glo. I personally don't like the Tolino software, so I won't recommend it. I just mention it as a proof that a gesture driven adjustment of the backlight is also possible on an infrared screen.
If you are not the hacker type, you might check out Sergey's KoboLauncher with Cool Reader. In Cool Reader you can define tap-zones and gestures. For instance you can call the backlight menu or toggle the backlight with a long tap. You also can define swipe gestures to adjust the backlight similar to the Aura 6".
Up to no now there are only 1 step changes of the light intensity, so you'd eventually have to do a lot of swiping. But again, I just wanted to show that a backlight adjustment is possible.
Hacking the Kobo Software might be the bigger problem
