One concrete example for needing "true off" state: My PW1 now has hairline crack in light-guide layer which causes that area to be extra extra bright. And if my Kindle wasn't jailbreaked now I would be f*cked. Because that line is almost the same brightness even when Kindle is set to lowest value.
Since it is jailbreaked I can turn the light off and at least read on it when outdoors without having that bright line killing my enjoyment.

Sounds like you need a new ebook reader. And probably not a Kindle. So that you'll be a happy camper.
