Yes, of course it is personal preference. Remember that eink is a different technology. The contrast is pretty much always the same - the light shifts the overall brightness up and down without effecting contrast (objective contrast, not perceived contrast). Yes, turn it down too low without enough ambient light, and it will appear that the contrast is gone.
Even a piece of coal will shine brightly if you throw enough light at it. Like, for example, the moon, which has pretty much the reflective properties of coal.
