Hi all. I like to use my Kobo with the backlight set at 1% brightness when reading in the dark. I never use the Kobo with the light off. Is it possible to change the Kobo's brightness settings so that it is impossible to set the brightness at 0%?

The problem with 0% is that when using the menu or side-swipe to change the brightness, it's much too easy to accidentally turn the backlight off completely. If the Kobo is set to 0% accidentally while I'm reading in the dark, it is almost impossible to turn it back on again without turning on the room lights or with a flashlight. It would be much quicker and less frustrating to drag the brightness all the way down without it turning off completely.

Any advice is appreciated.
