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.
My reply to Aleron also applies to yourself.
