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?

Welcome to MobileRead, Ebby! It is quite common for new users to have the same concern that you do. Many people who have never had an ereader before expect the screen to be white when in fact it is really light grey.
I agree with JSWolf that a good reading light is important especially at night. It will make the screen look more white in low-light conditions. If you cannot find a cover with a built-in light, then there are many threads on MobileRead where people recommend their favorite clip-on lights. Or you could just read in an area of your home where you are sitting near a lamp with good light.
