I only have a couple of hundred "old aged mass market paperbacks" left in my collection. I eventually got rid of all my other paperbacks after I got an ereader. and I can tell you that the contrast definitely does NOT have as good a contrast as my Kobo or my Nook ST.

Most of the paperbacks are Ace doubles from the sixties. The paper is a litlle coarse and has browned since they were printed in the sixties. This is similar to other older paperback I have seen.

It is possible that some "old aged mass market paperbacks" were produced to a better quality but if so I have not seen them.
