You can play around with fine tuning the brightness with the KUAL extension in the thread

Very interesting. Thanks for the pointer - I'll check it out!

That is what the default out of the box auto-brightness does on kindles. If ambient light is bright enough, it will go to full brightness, which drains the battery quickly. Any brighter and it goes to the lowest setting.

Yeah, this has always driven me insane on my Oasis with the automatic light. On Kindles it's annoying to keep adjusting it all the time (not nearly as convenient as on Kobos/KOReader - yet another reason why I prefer KOReader), but the auto adjustment does almost (though not quite) the opposite of what I want. I don't want it looking white with the light - that, to me, just feels disingenuous.

I think amazon has always considered the primary purpose of the frontlight to be making the display look whitish.

Hence the first Kindle with a front light was called a Paperwhite!
In reality without the front light it's as grey as any other ereader of that era.
