It would be nice if it used an even newer screen with even more contrast, but as is suggested above, that apparently isn't available yet. To my mind, the biggest drawback to current e-Ink screens is the gray background.

The iLiad's switched to the same viziplex screen as the Sony/Kindle sometime around the release of the book edition so the contrast should be the same. I was able to compare a book edition to my 505 and they appeared the same.
