It wasn't; not by a long shot. The next generation of PRS-x50 models were better, but they still noticeably degraded the contast.
Sorry, Jack, but I'm a little puzzled by this. You claim that the touchscreen on the PRS-350 and 650 "noticeably degraded the contrast". These devices have IR touchscreens, just like the Kindle Touch does. There is no physical layer on top of the screen to degrade the image. Can you explain, please, what the mechanism is by which it's degraded? I have a Sony PRS-350 and the screen quality appears excellent to me.
