Android, at least the "vanilla versions" on the Nexus devices, have auto-dim enabled by default, as well. Unless deliberately disabled in the settings, Android tablet users also read e-books with reduced brightness.
Anyway, it seems that my e-ink readers never last, probably because I treat them too much like books (unlike the tablet). Or maybe it's just how non-Kindles are (I have no experience with Kindles). So now I'm back to reading on the Nexus 7, which at least has good software that doesn't annoy the stuff out of me. FBReader and MoonReader are set to have much less brightness than I run my tablet usually at (I don't use auto-dimming), and it's decent enough for reading in-doors. I think I can handle having my sleep slightly damaged -- and I'm pretty sure that cup of tea in the evening is far more problematic!
