Ah, but then you have not tried yet the magic of OLED...
Never without from then on. (Of course, that's for indoor use.)
The blacks are strictly black (= off). If you read using light on black, it can be nice to your eyes.
(Warning: sometimes 2560x1600 OLED screens are much closer to 1280x800 in real practice: in the past, many used two lights per pixel instead of three. Check well first in person. The miopic eagle eye recoil scream and flee. But professional matte layers can cover well the intrinsic faults of the screen detail.)

The Max2 comes pretty close.

...I think I will try to post a demonstration. Some go "yes but why do I need a CPU at all when I am quietly reading", others want responsiveness when they rightfully go active on the device like Deckard on his Memex. If you have a relevant request, post it.
