Body: <p>I just got a 6th generation Kindle paperwhite and I have to have the light up to the maximum to get a decent light to read it during the daytime indoors.  Is this normal?  Why would it not have a stronger light that I could dim if I wanted to?  My older version of Kindle paperwhite (that I lost) had the light more in the middle to upper middle to get the strength of this one at max.</p>
