It ought to be the same for all recent models (novas, pokes...). The behaviour you described matches exactly what KOReader does

Other "modern" android devices based on Freescale/NTX, like Nooks or Tolinos, have the same interface found in their linux counterparts (Kobo/Bq)

I'm still amazed by how bad their implementation is. I get it from Nooks/Tolinos since they're not indended to be used with 3rd party software. But Likebook/Onyx could have done this better:

1. Map their "white" leds to window's attributes brightness level (to avoid breaking compatibility with a zillion apps)
2. Provide a ready to be consumed frontlight dialog that can be started by other apps using intents.
3. Provide a service, ready to be bounded by 3rd party apps, to do advanced stuff (ie: enter A2 mode onScroll and exit A2 when scroll ends, already implemented in stock browser, or set a custom light/warm levels without showing the user a dialog)
