I have a question about the 6in Fire.

Can the backlight be turned down real, real low, either natively or with an app?

I use the "Low Light" app on my first gen KF to turn the backlight down for reading at night. But the KF battery is getting flakey, so I'm looking at the KF HD 6 in to replace it.

I tried reading on my galaxy phone, but can't get the backlight low enough and "Low Light" app doesn't seen to work on the Galaxy. I don't mind the small screen of the galaxy, so I expect the 6 in. KF would be a great size for me, compared to my current KF.
