Stanza e-book app – how to fix the screen brightness

Stanza is a great free e-book reader for the iPhone or iPad.  One thing I noticed while using it was that the screen would be very dim from time to time.  Thinking there was a problem with the light sensor, I’d try all sorts of things to try to get the screen brightness to fix itself.  Other apps on the phone didn’t have this problem, so I figured I must have changed some setting.  I looked in the settings of the app but there was nothing indicating how to change the brightness.

Highest brightness

Lowest brightness

Finally I discovered by accident that dragging your finger up and down the screen increases and decreases the brightness.  So if your Stanza app reading experience is hampered by a dim screen, try dragging your finger from the bottom to the top.

Hopefully this helps someone similarly confused.
