The screen is darker. But the light is brigher. It was late when I posted it!

In a dark room (i.e. bedroom), I find the H2O is impossible to read (unless I put the night mode on, which gives me a black background instead of the white one). The lowest I can put the light is 7% without losing too much contrast. And that's too bright when reading in a dark bedroom for me.

The One I had at 1%, but with the Natural Light on, it wasn't as blinding and it didn't burn my retinas.

I have old eyes so I love the larger screen real estate. One question tho; I noticed someone saying that fonts could be added. Can someone tell me how?
1) I only used the touch when entering my wifi password, but I didn't find it very slow. In this case, I think it's perhaps a matter of expectation.
2) I find the device too thin, I also had some problem propping it up. I will have to find a good cover for it (a simple book cover, like the gecko I have for my H2O)
