If the minimum setting of the light is too bright for you, then you need to jail break it to gain access to the system.
That does not mean you will be able to turn off the light.
It only means that the jail break is required to gain access to the system.
There is no back light to turn off.
There is only a front light.

Sorry, yes, it's called front light. I thought the source of the light is behind the e-ink layer, so I called it front light.
It's not that the minimum setting is too bright, it's just it's there (I checked in a dark room), and still must be draining the battery, even if not that noticeable.
I've read about KUAL, and that the first step is to jailbreak the device.
I'm not planning to connect it to the internet at all, only to my pc to load books in it with calibre. That should not connect it to the internet too, I guess.
So I'm actually not sure now. If it doesn't worth it in terms of the battery life, maybe I should leave it as it is. But then again, what if I'd like to connect to wifi someday, and it updates? Then, as I understand, I'll loose the opportunity to jailbreak it?
