I checked the contrast between my 950 and my friends kindle because it seemed to have considerable higher contrast. What I did was cut some big holes in a sheet of paper and placed it over both readers so that I could only see the screen itself and I couldn't tell any difference. Apparently the darker border makes it seem like the contrast is greater when as far as screens go it isn't. You ought to try that and see what you think. I can't comment on the fonts.
