iBooks can dim the screen a lot more than the brightness setting in Settings can. It only works in that app though. Apple needs to open the ability for either apps to do that or better yet, give greater control in the Settings to allow for more dimming.

I read a book on the Kindle app last week and it would have been nice to have dimmed it more for when I was reading at night. It's a bit bright for my tastes even at the lowest brightness setting.
Well now. I recently got the Kobo HD app and it can dim the screen, seemingly, just as much as iBooks can. No idea why other apps, especially Kindle, haven't taken advantage of this.

Maybe I need to give my eyes more time to adjust to the night reading or something, because I find it really hard to read with it turned on. The solution to all of this though is to give greater control in the Settings for the screen brightness.
