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.
Yes all new Fires even last year's version screen go sooo low that you don't have that problem. You may need Screen Dim though for apps with lighting bugs like Nook or Overdrive that have their own brightness controller in them and think you only read in daylight.
