Glowlight screen darker than the Classic

I purchased the new Glowlight about 10 days ago. I have a couple of tablets but this is only my second e-ink reader after purchasing a Nook Classic when they were first made available. I love the much smaller form factor and lighter weight. I do miss the page turn buttons but I'm getting use to not having them. The storage size is more than adequate for me. I removed the 2GB SD card from my Classic because I never had enough stuff on the internal memory to fill it. I don't understand why it's so important to have thousands of books on your e-reader. You can always store some elsewhere. Anyway my main issue with my Glowlight is that it's screen with the light off is significantly darker than the Classic's screen. I only want to use the light in low light or dark conditions because using the light to me is too much like using my tablets. Is the screen of the Glowlight naturally darker or is it possible there is something wrong with my screen? I really don't like the dark unlit screen and am thinking about returning it because of that. I only have a few days to decide. The included picture is of both of my Nooks where you can see the difference. It doesn't look as bad on the picture, it's more pronounced live.
