Weird.

Amazon's priority is making the background look white. If your's is different, you need to train it by leaving auto adjust on and brightening and dimming by hand in different lighting conditions. Over time, it should learn to match your preferences.
In bright enough ambient light, the Oasis 2 will turn off its frontlight, but it will turn the light insanely high before it gets to that point. This is not good because the Oasis 2 has a smaller battery than previous Kindles, and its 7" screen takes a lot more power to light up.
I leave the light off, or at 1 or 2 on mine with auto adjust off. I am happy with auto adjust on my Voyage, and leave it on.
