yeah, that's what i thought for a few weeks, too. but for me it really got harder and harder to read over time. then i noticed that a gray bar with chapter numbers (see post above for pic) had almost the same color as the 'white background' and the different colored areas of the screen became more and more obvious.

i've printed out the gray scale from the pics above and compared it for another two weeks. the screen's darkest area shifted almost two levels to the darker grays.

printing out the 16 level gray scale is quite useful. you can track your screen change and compare it to other iliads.

to print the scale, you need a graphic program that understand hex color values (almost any program does that). than you draw 16 squares/rectangles/bars, whatever, and fill them with the grays. the 16 gray values run from #ffffff (white) through #000000 (black).

here are the values:

#000000 (black)
#111111
#222222
#333333
#444444
#555555
#666666
#777777
#888888
#999999
#aaaaaa
#bbbbbb
#cccccc
#dddddd
#eeeeee
#ffffff (white)

we should ask someone with a new/unbroken iliad for the gray value of his display. then anyone can compare it to their own to check.
