I hear you. The so-called "paper-like" reading experience is more of marketing hype than reality with current generation of e-ink. Unfortunately, the low contrast is not specific to the nook, but the e-ink technology. When I had my first e-ink device, I could not read anything longer than half a hour. The nook is my latest e-ink device and the best in screen contrast, but still way too low contrast to my taste, I cannot imagine reading it on the airplane. I was very hopeful the new pearl technology would change this, but judging from the new DX screenshots just posted, the contrast improvement of a new DX over the nook is very marginal.
