Not to say the March screen is bad, if I didn't have the October 2010 Kindle I would have never known.

Now that I have my Kindle 4, the screen is not as good as the October 2010 one, but it's actually better than the Kindle Keyboard from April 2011.
I think we need to let Amazon CS know that it looks like they have lowered their screen quality since last year and that they need to address this.

I've recently been down to a Sony store and their new 6 inch reader's screen is the same good original K3 quality (almost white background). I know what reader I'll be buying next time.

Cheers,
Tom
