Outside, in pretty bright sunlight, there is very little difference as well.
When I got back home and compared all my 3 kindles indoors under what I'd consider pretty normal indoor lighting levels, you could really see the difference but the K4 is still quite readable. Under lower indoor light (that I can comfortably read my K3 and DXG with, or even a book) you need to go to the bolder font (sans serif) in order to read ok with the K4nt.
Now I'm not really sure what to do. Either keep it or send it back again? Think I'll try living with it for a week or two and see how it goes.
Cheers,

Do what I did, change the font using the Kindle collections font plugin. It made a world of difference for me. I have learned temperature will play apart in screen background contrast. I find when my K4 is cold is looks greyish green and when warm it's very light gray.
