All the rationalization and waiting for the "next update" simply will not change that.
Some of us (perhaps having average or better than average eyesight) won't see significant differences between the various ereaders. And some of us won't care about those minor differences.

I am quite happy with the level of contrast on my Kobo Touch (though I have not compared the contrast with other readers). In other words, the contrast is "good enough" for me. Contrast was never a make or break issue when considering the purchase of my reader. I wanted e-ink, I wanted Canadian, I wanted open (epub), I wanted ease of use, I wanted compact, I wanted continued fw improvements (among other things). Whether the Kobo Touch is inferior to another machine is irrelevant if it suits most of my needs. I don't need the best technology out there, I just need the best product out there for me.
