Everyone's brain works differently. I remember when I got my first eInk device (Sony PRS-500), my immediate reaction was "that black flash between pages is horrible!". A few hours later it was "black flash? what black flash?".
LOL. Yes, I do know what you mean. I wish I was able to say that two-toned screen is horrible! Wait, what two toned screen? .. but alas. The color hues I can't unsee. No matter, I've found a device I'm happy with which is all that matters.

There is no doubt manufacturing differences - even before front light some eink had darker background than a different device next to it.
I don't believe the glue drying bit either. As you said, most likely the brain filtering kicks it out. My brain apparently lacks that filter. Luckily, no filter needed for my H20. Yay.
