Zero worries. I was actually talking about another, unrelated, batch.

To me, they both look good and I'll take the minor hit in contrast for the waterproofing of the Plus. But for someone sensitive like you, you're probably better with a 3.
I think the fonts on the 3 are plenty dark. I believe the default font is Georgia and it looks good to me. But again, I'm not particularly sensitive, so don't let me oversell it. The Glowlight 3 uses a current generation high DPI screen that is IR instead of capacitive, so it's likely as good a post frontlight screen as you are going to find.
The Tolino review made the software look very similar to the Nook software, with one benefit of the Nook being that the store is in English.

I've kind of had the chance to compare (indirectly) the differences between the Plus and 3. As mentioned, I now own a Vision 2 (which I like with my dark fonts) and my brother ordered one. But he got a Shine 2HD instead (even though it was labeled as a Vision 2). Although the capacitive, flush-screened Vision 2 is good (and it's not quite a fair comparison because it's 212 ppi instead of 300) it's not as "crisp" as the infrared Shine 2HD. On the Shine I had no trouble with the built-in fonts. I think it had more to do with the flush screen than the resolution. So it sounds a lot like comparing the Plus and 3. And I do like the idea of Page Turn buttons. Sometime, probably, no hurry though.
