I just talked to kindle tech support and they told me they have never heard anyone else complain that the text was lighter and looked washed out on the kindle 2. I told him that just pressing alt g to do a refresh in a book makes the text slightly darker. Then he had me do a factory reset, which didn't change anything. He then declared my kindle 2 defective and is sending me another one next day (Monday). I don't think it is defective, its just that the kindle 2 displays text lighter now on all of them and needs a firmware update. If more people complain, perhaps they will push a fix out quicker.
