Hi devastat. Before I bought my PRS-505, I often checked the displayed Sony reader at Borders whenever I went there. Every time I examined the reader, the lack of contrast that I saw always made me think that I would never buy a reader, and I considered it a big shortcoming. I also kept looking for a way to adjust the contrast, but I realized that there was no way to do so. This was the issue that kept me from buying a reader for a long time. When I finally decided that I would buy a PRS-505, because many people here seemed to be satisfied with it anyway, I found that I could live with what I once thought I couldn't. No, the contrast is not the same as that of ink on paper, but I found that I could quickly get used to it and, after a while, I didn't even notice it. Sufficient lighting is the key.
As to the ePub and PDF formats, yes I also noticed that, for small fonts, the eInk is not very dark. I notice that it does get better if I increase the font size. This is not an issue for the LRF format.
