I've set this setting to +/- 60% (warm white), with auto off. I find that if I leave auto on, the screen becomes too orange. When reading and not looking straight exactly at the screen, it gets a milky, orange cast. I don't like that look and it impedes reading for me. (The KPW1 always has a milky cast, but in blue, if there isn't enough ambient light. The KA1 has this problem much less.)

- new font recommendation: I used to love Bookerly on my PW2 and thought that it would be my font on the KA1 too. It is still great but thanks to JSWolf I now have new favourite: Charis SIL Modified Larger. It adds a whole new level of readability for me.

I've first patched the KA1 with the "Font Freedom" patch, but I have removed it again. I've tested the fonts I liked in the past or thought I'd like now, but they didn't work out:
- Deja Vu Sans (I liked a somewhat heavier version on the Kindle): It's too jaggy on the KA1. It's also too wide: it only provides 54 characters per line, where Georgia provides 62/63.
- Literata: Linespacing too high. At the same font size as Georgia, it only provides 28 lines of text, compared to 34 for Georgia (and I don't have any problems with the small line hight Georgia uses).
- Palatino: It's the font I use on the Kindle, but for some reason, it looks weird on the KA1. I didn't use the Kindle version; I scrounged it from one of the many font sites. Maybe that version was not fit for high dpi screens.
I've unpatched the reader, and returned to Georgia. As the full screen bugs are fixed by CSS, I think I'll leave it at that.
