I've read all these K4 screen threads and after using my new K4 for a few days now there is no doubt in my mind that this screen contrast is not near as good as my current K3 and DXG readers.

The text on my K3 and DXG almost jump off the screen (like the Sony one someone posted earlier) and I can read either in very low light conditions. The K4 background is much grayer and I need pretty strong lighting in order to read it ok.

Talked to CS and I'm returning/exchanging it. Hope my next one is better. If not, I'll ask for a refund.

In my opinion, either the new K4 screens are a lower quality screen, or there is a problem with the current 4.0x firmware. In any case I think Amazon is going to have to address this problem soon. You'd think that they could at least pre-view these K4 units before they ship them out, lol!

cheers,
Tom
