Yes, that was my experience, but I think this may be because either Sony had older Pearl screen stock, and the newer Pearl screens are just flat out better, or because they weren't setting high enough in-house standards for which Pearl screes they would accept, and how good those screens would have to look when installed and tweaked for actual use in the readers.
Either way Sony seems to have fixed this issue in some of their recently shipped devices, which apparently are looking just as good as anything out there, as long as you allow for their lighter weight fonts (which still bug some folks, and can be changed on all the Nooks and Kobos now).
Even if they have improved their screen contrast on some recently shipped units, I think it's good to keep them on notice though that we WILL be watching, and will notice if they don't maintain their new standards . . .
