) Sorry, can't help further on the sound -- I always have mine switched off, so I wouldn't notice it misbehaving.
2) E-paper screens don't actually generate any light at all, just like paper doesn't. This is why they're so easy on the eye and can be read in direct sunlight. But it also means they can't be read in dim conditions, just like paper can't. If you imagine lots of tiny black dots on a white surface, which rearrange themselves when you turn the page, that's more or less how they work -- very energy-efficient, since the screen uses no power except on the page-turn. But there's no brightness to adjust, except whatever light is shining on the screen, be that sunlight or your bedside lamp.
