Ok, here's higher resolution. Again: photos aren't everything. These are not the best focused photos, and remember the font on the Kindle Keyboard is bold, which gives it the illusion that it's darker. Note how the "57%" "and "13 mins left in chapter" on the Oasis, when comparing it with the text of the book right above it, appears darker as well (because it's bold).

My wife, who's a graphic designer and a bit of an expert in typography, states that the photos don't do justice to the fact that in person, the Kindle Keyboard text is clearly bold.
