I brought the red one and the screen-ruined silver one to the Sony store where I bought the new one yesterday. In the bright lights there it didn't look much (if any) dimmer. But I insisted om trying a second new red one, and the new red was PERFECT. The "ink" was noticeably darker, and white/gray background was noticeably lighter compared to both the first red one, and my original silver one. Plus, the page turning was the same as the silver one.

So, I'm very happy now with this new red one. Happy ending! (well, not really, I did just buy a new one for $300 after dropping a perfectly good reader the day before)

And, it seems there are slight variations in contrast between different 505 units.
