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.
Blossom already answered you about the backlight. But just wanted to chime in here. I use the 'sepia' screen for reading and it is really nice. Not too bright at all. So much better than my 1st gen Fire. I think you'll really like it.
