Hi, I concur with this. I myself owned the Sony PRS-T1 in white and PRS-T2 in black , and the contrast appeared much better on the black one. I then hid the frames by covering them with paper and saw that it was in fact identical.

It's true that it is subjective, as FizzyWater said, however it's just how the brain works so one has to deal with it
