Really? Every person you hand the device to automatically adjusts the light? I know this doesn't happen within my family. Unless we are going to use the device for a while. My wife is the person that would do it the quickest. But, she needs to do something much worse - adjust the font size. She reads using a MUCH bigger font than I do, so if I hand her my Glo to read, she can't.

The lack of visual feedback (besides the obvious) also means that it's easy to mess with it without even realizing it.
Displaying the light level slider while doing this would be nice. But, I personally, I don't care what percent the level is at. I adjust until I get the light where it is comfortable. And this function is an advantage to me as it makes it easy to adjust whenever I need to.

Now I understand why Amazon killed this gesture on the Kindles (granted, it was on the right side, and was a chapter jumping feature, so, rather more obvious).
The last time I played with a Kindle, a vertical swipe anywhere on the screen went jumped to the next chapter. Personally, I didn't think it was a bad idea. But, mainly I thought that Kobo where wasting a gesture on the device by not using vertical swipes when reading.
