Between my farsightedness and astigmatism, better contrast is much more comfortable for my eyes. So I keep my backlight on always around 75%, even out in the sun. It just makes the contrast better, and I don't like to bother with adjusting the light level constantly, so I just leave it at one setting.
Reading several hours a day, I only have to recharge every few weeks, I find the front light battery drain to be really minimal. And even if I had to charge the reader more often, it would definitely be worth it for the eye comfort the light gives me.

You read several hours per day at 75% lighting and your battery lasts a couple of weeks? How do you do that? I lose between 10-15% every day at 30-50% lighting.
BTW I was wondering if there is a big difference on the battery depending if you use it at 10% lighting vs 50% or 100%.
I'd like that Kobo to last a couple of years! :-)
