That "flashlight in the face" argument irritates me no end. TURN DOWN THE BRIGHTNESS, yes I'm shouting.
The range of brightness really doesn't go low enough on some devices, at least not without help. There are apps for that. The Google Play Books reader app has the virtue of going quite dim for reading in a dark room. It does a better job of low light reading than the Kindle app, which I otherwise love. There are also stand-alone apps to lower screen brightness.
