Hello,

I have my Sony Prs-t1 since wednesday. I have read many reviews before deciding to buy it. In all of them it was mentioned how the screen was white. This is my first e-reader and I never see other readers before and do not have the possibility to do it.

To me the screen appears light grey and not white (or almost white). When there is a very good day lighting the reeding is comfortable but in a rainy day or at night with artificial lighting I find the contrast is not really enough. In this case I have to go on the display preferences to put the text as black as possible, think who alters a little the fonts.

As I have no point of comparison I wonder if my screen is as it should be. Are you experiencing the same with your Prs-t1?
no eink screen is white. They are all a little grey. Your T1 is functioning as it should. One thing to think about is getting a light cover. It works very well and you'll have more light for the screen in low light situations. Both my mother and mother-in-law have a light cover for their T1 and they do use it sometimes. I have a light cover for my 650 and i sometimes do use it.
