I'm the one that posted I recently got a 2nd PRS-350 with a noticeably brighter screen. It just seems to be the normal variation that can on occur between any e-ink screen even made by the same company. It's not that the older one is harder to read at all; it's still a very nice contrast, easy on the eyes and easy to read even for extended periods. I wouldn't have even noticed it unless I had them both, and certainly have zero complaints about the first one even though it is slightly darker. And you can still adjust the contrast to get them similar looking anyway.
I really wouldn't worry about that difference.
I love the 350 and its 5" screen, it's so portable. And the smaller screen doesn't matter at all since it takes the slightest movement of my thumb to advance pages which doesn't break the reading flow at all for me.
