To go straight to maximum brightness tells us they were actively looking to cause the condition not just looking to seeif it occured naturally.

And, of course, making up the idiot term LE-ereader to pretend a tablet is representative of the ebook reading space is as bizarre as calling a pickup truck a gaspowered wheelbarrow. Stupid or intellectually dishonest.

Not sure which of the two it is but either way it is pretty clear the whole thing is a spin job.
Full brightness is for watching a video and outdoors.
