I get that. I don't read in complete darkness either. But imho the unlit screens just look ugly, no matter how bright the external light is. Older screens with no frontlight (Pearl) actually looked better than unlit modern screens (Carta). Even the Voyage looks pretty bad with the frontlight off. And I don't want to feel like I've wasted my money on an expensive reader that looks worse than my old cheapies. So the light stays on, always. Wifi is practically always off, though. Don't use it much and don't want updates sprung on me without knowing what they will change.
