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.

No, no, no. That's wrong.
If you turn it up when it's light outside, then that makes it darker - outside the ring of circumference where the light is. But making it lighter will often lead to a type of night blindness, wherein the lighted part actually becomes lighter due to the background being perpetually black. I know it's easy to get confused on this point, but hopefully my explanation will shed some light one those darker areas that increase in darkness as the light increases. All back-lit ebook readers react in the same way, unless they are front-lit, which is another issue entirely.
