I am finding the fonts lighter than they 'should' be.

It does not seem to be any physical problem with the screen. I took a screenshot of a typical Kindle page, and used it as a screensaver image on my Nook. They look equal in contrast and clarity.

But comparing Caecilia on Kindle with the same typeface on Nook Touch, at approximately the same size, the former looks a bit pale. I don't think it is just because I prefer smaller text and the strokes are thinner. Sometimes I get a glimpse of what it might look like when I bring up the reader options panel and put it back. When it redraws the text that the panel covers up, that text sometimes looks noticeably darker.

I think they perhaps have optimized too much for power savings, and it comes at the expense of text contrast and darkness. I'd like to see that fixed, perhaps by providing a 'saturation' control like Sony has. I would trade some power savings for it.

But I'm wondering what other people think. I haven't seem a lot of complaints about this here, though it has been mentioned in some reviews.
