I don't think there's any easy way to adjust it. Were you able to use the iLiad before, or did you purchase it with a screen that needed replacing. In other words, have you seen it before this replacement screen to know that you're not just seeing normal eInk contrast? Light gray background and dark gray text is pretty typical, you don't really get black/white with eInk. Also, "ghosting" is common. It's more pronounced with certain types of content and can be effected by the way the screen is being refreshed. A full page turn does some extra things to clean up ghosting (but its' still not perfect), than a partial refresh (like writing/erasing with the pen).

Also, where did you get the replacement screen from. Is it possibly from an older generation? Theoretically, the vizplex screens they switched the iLiads over to have better contrast than the original screens. However, they've said it's not big enough of a difference to really notice. I wonder though if you had a vizplex before, and replaced it with an original?
