But now, being used to Paperwhite 2 and the likes...

"Washed out" probably is a bit too harsh.
A more accurate description probably would be:
The text appears dark grey, not black. Again, this reminds me of what I've had on my readers a few years ago.
This "washed out" effect is everywhere, not just in specific apps.
The text is legible without any problems at all. But it didn't seem quite on par with what I'm used to nowadays.
But like I wrote: I didn't have Paperwhite 2 or any other recent reader with me for comparison.
Maybe I was overcritical about the display, because of my disappointment with speed and build quality.

Since the screen is Pearl, it should still look good though.
