It really depends on the time of day. Both my Libra 2 and Libra Colour are white, and I like to get the screen color to be as similar to the ereader body color as possible. So, I play around with the light and comfort light a lot. Typically for my Libra Colour I use it between 15% and 30% for reading novels, but if I’m reading an Asterix or a DK encyclopedia (books with a lot of color and small images), I will crank it up a lot higher, sometimes even up to 100%. I also have a third set of eyeglasses for very close work, that I often wear to see the smaller fonts in these books. I convert the comics to PDFs so I can zoom the page and fix it in position when flipping to the next pages.
Right now it is late at night and I am reading a novel in a room that is half-lit. My brightness on my Libra Colour is at 27% and my natural light setting is two from the top setting. This makes my page almost match the surround. I’m not checking right now, but my Libra 2 would have been around the same settings at this time of night.
ETA: Sometimes I also turn the light all the way down in the daytime, and increase the font weight a lot, so I can read with no front light at all. It reminds me of my old Kindle 4 NT - dark, but usable. (I loved the form factor of that ereader, I think it was my favorite, with the thin buttons built into each side).
