Definitely so. At 24 it is nice off-white during day and last night I read on it for hours in pitch dark room at 12. I had an impression I'm reading a yellow oldish book. I am really afraid (I just said so in another thread) that if I returned it and ordered new one I'd get a torch light or a lemon or 2 in 1. I only wish letters were a bit darker but I don't know if it is wise to risk it for that uncertain 25% more contrast.

Today I went to the only reseller of Kindles in Brussels and compared my screen to the one they had on display. Harsh light with intertwining blue and pink compared to mine.
