Hi,

I ordered two kindles, grey and the black.

The grey seems to be the old production kindle.

I try to compare the two screens, the black seems to be a little more sharper
with slight more contrast. But only at the first look.

I think tis is mainly an optical illusion due the black bezel/frame.

But the reading experience is huge different: The black force my view to the screen. My eyes are not free like on a real printed book. On the grey K4 the device "disappears" and it is more friendly to my eyes.

How is your "long time" reading experience?
Anybody who have both kindles too?
