Back on topic: how much light is shed by a PW1/PW2 in the dark is very dependent on the light setting. I typically read at level 7 or so in full darkness, and at that level, it's less bright than most wall-mount night lights, and I should think that anything below 10 wouldn't bother most people. Whether or not this is a comfortable reading level or is something a bed partner can sleep through is going to be very subjective, though. There's definitely a small amount of light spillover even at those low levels, but it's certainly way less than a beside light or a flickering TV left on in the dark.[/QUOTE]
I see lots of posts from people that say they read on the Kindles with a light level of 7-8 in full darkness. That just amazes me--at those levels I have trouble reading the words--even if the fonts are fairly large. I need mine set to at least 10--usually leave it at 11 for comfortable night time reading. Makes me curious whether it's the light in my reader is dimmer than others or my eyes.
