Or do I have to look into something like the new graphite Kindle DX?
when you say the contrast isn't that great, are you comparing to any other e-ink reader of the same generation? if you are, I'd like to hear exactly which one you are comparing to. I compared for many months between different ereader devices and have owned quite some, I can honestly say the nook has the best screen contrast among the ones I tried. Now if you compare the nook to the new graphite Kindle DX which has the next generation e-ink technology called Pearl that claims to improve the contrast by 50%, obviously the new DX will win out easily. If you are comparing the nook or other ereader with real paper - stop right there, the e-ink (even the latest Pearl) is not as close as real paper, any cheapest paperback or oldest newspaper on recycled material still beats the Pearl nowhere, let alone the nook or Kindle 2 or Sony touch.
