Hi,
I just received my Kobo Aura One (switching from a Kindle Voyage that I have kept, in case I wouldn't like the Kobo...).
I find it great except from one "issue" : 99% of the time, I read in bed and in complete dark.
So I always use backlight and even at its minimum setting (1%), it is too bright for me.
It is brighter than the 4th level of brightness I was using on the kindle...
I saw the "Night mode" hack but I don't want that.
Is there a way to go less than 1 % ?
I found the "FrontLightLevel=1" setting in the "Kobo eReader.conf" file : can I go lower than 1, like 0.5 or 0,5 ? (I don't want to brick the reader...)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Vincent
