I mentioned the backlight problem in a little review I did on the Banggood site, too. Maybe someone at Boyue will get the message. If someone else wants a bright light, that's fine. But the whole point of E-Ink, for me, is to have less light coming at my eyes!
A temporary solution to your problem, at least while reading books, could be using AlReader (the last eInk version from Mike Sinkovsky. It has full support for the Boyue T62 devices (even backlight intensity) and it has this nice inverted mode (black background-white text) which helps overcoming massive light attacks from the device. To find that inverted mode you have to switch to 4 profiles.
