I like that ability, but I don’t like the flashing between page turns. Koreader wins for nighmode.

Doesn't work for KV and PW2 firmware 5.10.3
Well, koreader alleviates the issue by actually doing a flash/refresh of the screen every few (about 5 I think) page turns. It does that even in normal (non-night) mode. It's hard to get any better than koreader, and seeing how powerful it is, I wouldn't be surprised if that behavior and the number of pages turns per refresh is configurable. Amazon's own reader unfortunately is all or nothing.

If you care about it, I could try to put together an alternate extension that generates some debug info that I could use to try figure out what is going on and hopefully fix it, although considering those devices are somewhat old, I suspect it may be a hardware limitation. But I'm not really sure what to think without more information.

Edit: (nvm, just realized you got two KVs with different FW versions, and apparently the KV and PW on older firmwares are not working, so it may be something related to the FW afterall)

Thanks for the feedback anyway!
