There is also no bright reflection from the graphite bezel when in the sunlight.

Many people have applied skins to their white Kindles to create the same result. Now it is not necessary.

Feel of contrast to the eyes is way better in graphite compared to white.

Thanks for the info guys. I can't really tell the difference in screen contrast when comparing the pictures but I'll take your word that it makes a difference in person. I've heard it said numerous times before, as well. It's good to know it's not straight black. Maybe I'll try it out if I decide to upgrade my Kindle yet again. I'm still kind of holding onto hope that the Notion Ink Adam will show up before the end of the year, though.
