I had it replaced to the one I use now which is light grey and almost black text. It looks like a newspaper to give a better description.

Heh :P My Cybook had a Vizplex screen, considered to be the best e-ink screen in 2007-2008. The thing even cost 400 euro's back then. When comparing it to the paperbacks printed on recycled paper (the mass market $5 ones) that I normally read, it looked very good. Vizplex was good enough for me when comparing it to those pockets; only high quality hardbacks were better.
One reason to try the ereader thing again is because the print of some pockets its getting really really small and very bad quality. So bad that with my visual handicap it is becoming very difficult to read them. Many paperbacks even can't be opened fully anymore because the spine will break and the pages start falling out. Reading a half closed book causes heavy shadows on the pages. Also, the reader will be much lighter and smaller than some of my books.
Btw... An ereader that relies on reflected light, such as the Kindle, will never be add bright add the lcd in your Fire. That is actually an advantage.... My Galaxy Tab 10.1 is way too bright, even at the lowest settings, and way to big and heavy.
