My Kindle 3--which was purchased in November 2010--started to act weird, so Amazon sent me a replacement that arrived today. I compared the old and new Kindles with the same book open and the same font. I cannot see any difference between the color of the background. The type on the new Kindle is marginally darker, but in normal use you would never notice the difference.
