Today was a very bright sunny day here today. I took my Kindle Touch and my Kindle Paperwhite outside in the sun. I had my PW light at 24, the highest it goes. The contrast on my Kindle Touch was shockingly superior. Nice white background and clean dark fonts. The background on my PW looked more dingy in comparison. I was pretty surprised as the very obvious difference in bright sunlight and this was with the light on high on the PW. (With it off it was worse.) Indoors, however, my PW looks whiter with the light on than my Touch. Although the fonts always look better on my Touch, inside or out.
