I found my first Kindle 2's screen contrast dark also. Enough so that I called Customer Service and they sent a second one. (It bugged me enuf that I was seriously considering returning the Kindle 2 and going back to my Sony PRS-505) The second Kindle 2's screen color appears the same, but the letters are a bit darker making enough of a difference that I've decided to keep the Kindle 2. The screen color is the same as my Sony PRS-505 but the contrast is not as good on the Kindle 2 as the Sony's. It appears to me that Amazon is not using the darkest color they can with the regular text so that they can use the darkest text in Bold letter applications. Hopefully in the future there will be a setting to change the darkness of the letters.
