Question Contrast/readability of the 13.3" Max Carta display

I, like many others on this forum, am excited about the Max Carta reader. I wonder about the quality of the display, though. I own a M96 Plus device, and while the hardware and the software are OK-ish(the SW is buggy and unpolished but still usable), the display itself doesn't feel nearly as comfortable as Kindle DXG for long reading. It's hard to pin down the exact reason, but I think it's mostly due to the yellowish hue of the white and the reduced contrast. It's also glossier, but I don't think this matters so much. When compared side-by-side with a Kindle DXG the difference in contrast and the readability is very obvious. Don't know if this degradation is a necessary price to be paid for supporting stylus input, but if that's the case the trade-off doesn't work for me.

So in short my question, to people who have multiple devices handy, is how the 13.3 inch Max Carta reader compares with other devices in terms of contrast and overall readability? If someone can compare this device's display with a Kindle DXG and/or Onyx M96 that would be great.
