I already have one: the eyes close and the ereader falls out of my hand. That tells me it's time to go to sleep.

  • The icon for the backlight setting in the top status bar should be different when the backlight is on/off. A user could see at one glance if it's still on from last night's reading session, when it isn't needed any more on a new sunshiny day.
Yes, they do need an extra icon. The older devices with a button for the light didn't show the icon when the light wasn't on. I think they haven't caught up to this..

  • Tapping the "more/less brightness icons" to the left/rigt of the slider should increase in smaller steps, maybe 2%. 5%-steps are too crude. (I'm not even sure why the backlighting can be so bright. Anything above 10% is too bright in a dark room. Maybe I just didn't happen on a use case for it myself yet...)
For me the more/less buttons change the light by 10%. But, I agree that is to much. They should be 1%. That way you tap somewhere for the coarse adjustment and use the buttons to fine tune.

I never turn the light off. But, I do adjust it for the ambient level. In bed with the room light off, the level is around 5%. On the train during the day, around 30%. The higher levels are for time with more light. I usually adjust the light by sliding my finger along the left edge when reading and I never turn the light off.
