If there was a way to fine-tune the baseline brightness level, I might find the feature useful (especially since manually changing the brightness requires a few clicks through the menu), but as it is now I think it's probably only useful to a relatively small subset of people.

You can set a baseline brightness. Just manually adjust the brightness in different lighting conditions. The device will remember the setting and will use it in similar lighting conditions. This is the first thing a do on all of my devices when I first get them. I set the max brightness that I want in sunlight/really bright room, brightness for a normally lit room in my home and brightness in a dark room. Once I do that the device does a great job of regulating the brightness within the levels I set. The Kindle operates the same way. I've never had to manually adjust my brightness after the initial setup. If it's left on the default settings then yeah I agree. The brightest is too bright and the lowest is too dim and the in between is hit or miss
