Which might be partly why the experience of reading on my Epic is so fatiguing no matter how I set the contrast.
There's also the sense that, for all the praise heaped on its deep blacks, my older AMOLED screen makes text slightly less distinct. As if the spaces between letters were painted rather than etched, if that analogy makes sense.
I've looked at both screens side by side and the e-ink's grays and blacks look a little like applied enamel to me. They almost have the appearance of texture, which I don't find true on my AMOLED.
