This is a pretty big bummer -- the crisp contrast of E Ink has long been a selling point of these devoted readers, promising replication closer to physical books than tablets can offer. On the new Nook, the page looks a bit unevenly printed. It's another one of those things you might miss at first glance, but that you can't really un-see once you've had a chance to see the two devices next to each other."
Note it says "significantly less contrast." Yikes!

That is a let down, but I figured that the added layer would affect contrast somewhat. I hope that integrated lights don't become so popular that it will later be impossible to buy new ebook reader models without them.
