I end up working harder to read than with just an eInk screen and a book light.

I've tried various light settings and contrasts, and nothing has helped the fonts getting transparent.

I'm finding I'll read one book on the lighted models, then go to reading the rest of a series on the regular Sony's.

Yet the lit screens are still much more comfortable than the backlit tablet screens. I only use those as a last resort.

But it's taken a lot of testing to realize what the problems are for me.
Have you tried adding a custom font to your Paperwhite? There are several members here who have generously provided their customized fonts that have added weight resulting in a much better reading experience. It also is a huge improvement if one prefers a higher light setting.
