Red face Kindle Paperwhite 5 SE auto-brightness
Hi guys!

I couldn't seem to make the auto-brightness to my liking.

What I only managed to do so far is for the brightness to dial down to 0 when I am outside. I also managed to set it so the brightness goes to 8 when I'm inside the room without the lights on.

What I couldn't figure out is how to also set it up so it goes to 0 when I am in a well lit room. It does not do that on my end.

The front light on Kindles does not actually turn off.

And, of course, is easy to do on the rest if they are jailbroken.

But the lowest setting does not affect battery life in any meaningful way and is quite dim, just enough to find the settings icon in the dark.
