I "remember" it, of course, since I use it all the time. I don't know if there's a variation in screen color or if this reflects individual perceptions, but I find the background to be a light bronze-ish color -- not at all objectionable -- and the characters are dark black and stand out well.
The only drawback I've found is that the characters can appear to "jitter" in direct sunlight. I use larger fonts to read, and that seems to minimize the effect, but I've also been able to minimize it (or eliminate it) by reading in the shade. I don't read outdoors often, so this isn't a problem for me, except once or twice on vacation.
I recently bought a used Kobo eReader (I don't know the model name, but it's e-ink, not a tablet) for use during a vacation at Cape May, on the Jersey shore, because I expected to read outdoors. It doesn't have the character jitter in direct sunlight, but it does have the "page flash" and (brief) delay. And, in spite of the criticism the JetBook Lite gets, the page background
isn't white -- it's a pale gray. The contrast is about the same as the JBL.
Bottom line: I'll still use the JBL for most of my reading.
