If you have the light turned up that far, you are using it wrong. You should turn the light on all frontlit Kindles up only as far as is necessary to make the background white, rather than grey (unless reading in pitch darkness, or something, in which case obviously you turn it up enough that you can read it).

When it's turned up that far, it does not fade at all. Obviously if you turn it up to 24 indoors, the type is going to be overwhelmed by the light level and become much less readable, but, y'know, if you point a bright torch directly at a book point-blank, the same thing will happen. This is not surprising, because it's the same thing: too much light, plus ink.
