The idea that the newer 'touch' readers with IR touch screens have lower contrast is absurd, and indicates a total lack of understanding about how these newer touch screens work.
Just to clarify what has already been pointed out, the touch sensing is accomplished by an infrared sensing array that is built into the bezel frame surrounding the screen, SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE IN THE SCREEN ITSELF.
There are differences in the default fonts, and slight differences in font rendering, but these differences tend to be fairly subtle.
If you arrange a test where a Sony, Nook STR, and Kindle are all displaying the same text, in the same font, at the same character size and spacing, then the differences are pretty small.
