It's purely a matter of personal preference, but I prefer to have the light a bit dimmer than the ambient light of the room. I find it makes the screen look more like real paper that way, but unfortunately, it accentuates the shadows.

I was curious and did some close-up comparisons between my GL3 and KA1. I found that the KA1 text looks just as dark as the Nook ... with the light off. I've attached some images to this post. The first is the Kobo; the second, the Nook.

Also of note is that both fonts are rendering Georgia, yet they look different. Kobo's version is taller; note how narrow the letter 'o' is compared to the Nook.
