Well I can't save my battery by reading on level 10 either. I know there must be many who can't and are in the same boat as we are.
What did you do before illuminated screens? I started using Kindles with the DX and it has never been illuminated. Just read in a room with adequate light and the screen illumination is not needed or read in bed with a good reading light mounted on the bed headboard. I leave the Oasis 2 light off or as low as it can be set.
