As I said, what GeoffR should work the same.

As for using the slider on the left side of the screen, that's worthless now.
It's working the same as always for me. And as it's the only way I ever adjust the light, it is definitely not worthless.

Just to update this thread: the `Brightness fine control` patch that went missing in firmware version 4.0 has been found again.

Do you mean the patch files have been found and re-included, or it became possible to rewrite the patch for 4.2.8432?

If it works, that would be great

In the end, this seems to be the only patch I really want to have installed, because using the slider to set a specific percentage is almost impossible, and having 1-5, 10 and 15 as brightness steps is not good enough.

Cool I'll be installing it later today. I'd love to finetune the setting easily after moving the slider into the ballpark.

(In comparison, the Kindle has 24 usable light levels, as I consider everything higher than 15% unnecessary on the KA1. It's too bright for any situation I've been in.)

It works. I don't like to change too much in the original firmware, so I removed all the patches except this one. Now I can set the slider roughly to where I want it, and then fine tune the setting. (Normally I'm between 10-15%, but on a bright, but overcast day, I might sometimes go up to 25-ish, I've noticed.)

Now I can set the KA1 front-light to blend with the ambient light, just as I did with the KPW1.

Thanks

I'll be saving 8432 and this patch, so I can return to this firmware if I don't like a future one for some reason.
