i held off replying for a few days, but since you've had nothing, here's my thoughts:

1 - yeah, it's bright as all he11. i just point it at the ceiling until it gets to my normal home screen. i suppose if you root it you can modify what it splashes, but i've not gone down that road. or stuff it under the covers until it's on the normal screen.

2 - have you tried reverse / night mode? white text on black background. i use that exclusively, day and night, and find it to be very easy on the eyes. brightness is at 50% during the day, and 0% at night when all house lights are off. obviously this only works for books, not comics.

i haven't tried any extra apps to modify the brightness / color cast / contrast settings, though.

i suppose you could try to score a used Glo for night-time comics reading. i got mine (with sleepcover) for $70 just before Christmas.
