I posted a little comparison of the new versus the older E-Ink generations compared to a hardcover and a paperback. The photos are very small close-ups but they give an idea of the relative contrast of the various reading surfaces. You can see those photos in this post.
Yep, that is what my paperback looks like up close. That Kindle font looks really nice-if that's what I can plan on seeing then my decision is made!! I can play with the contrast and fonts and get it perfect.
