Love the xoom, that's not the issue. And under most circumstances, the screen brightness is not an issue at all. And yes I understand that upping the brightness would lower battery life (but the battery on this is already insanely great).
I want a brighter screen for one thing only...attempting to read Ebooks outside. I've gotten hooked on the Kindle app, and I love reading Ebooks. But it is a pain outdoors in the sun. The reflection and all. I'm thinking if they brightness were cranked up higher than maybe it wouldn't reflect as much (the white page would come come through instead).
Is there an app that will allow me to go beyond the "normal" brightness settings? Would rooting allow this (I rooted my EVO, but not my Xoom...yet)? I've considered an anti-reflective screen guard, but I'd like to avoid those if possible. I've used screen guards in the past, and I'd like to avoid having to apply another big sticky sheet and fight the dust (but if that is the ONLY recommendation, then I might have to settle).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
