Square "A" is the exact same color as square "B". That's the effect I've noticed. I prefer the blue reader due to the optical illusion of it making the screen seem "whiter" and thus easier to read.
That illusion always amazes me. But it works. Also the reason why I got the dark blue Reader--it makes the screen look whiter, even if it doesn't affect the actual screen contrast.
