That is, I believe, the intended purpose of the light: I do the same. (So it's much higher under a cloudy day sky than indoors, and higher yet under sunlight -- or off entirely, if jacking it right up has no effect on the appearance of the screen! Indoors under bright lights is about 11; cloudy sky is about 15--17; sunlight 21+; night-time with the lights off is 5 to 7. Below 5 is too dark for me to read even in a pitch-dark room.)

My dad keeps it on 24 all the time, even indoors. I cannot understand how he can look at it without being blinded.

You might find things changing on that front with the Oasis: I find that when one hand gets tired, I turn over and flip the Oasis so I can use the other hand.
