The Tolino Shine 3 and the Kobo Clara HD are the same device, as far as technical components are concerned. It might have the same speed.
Moreover, all screens look kind of grey if you don't turn the light on. It's hard to say which device has a lighter screen without a direct comparison. If I use my Kobo in bright daylight, I don't see a big difference with the light on or off. My boyfriend uses the Tolino Epos and Vision 4HD. Both have a kind of greenish comfort light, whereas my Kobo Clara has a nice orangey-yellow tint.
Is there a specific reason why you don't want to use the light?

Don't know on the firmware, dont have device in hands right now but will check. It has 6 books on it as I just got it to test a week ago so it can't be indexing/overloading. My old Kindle has a very light grey display....perfect. All modern readers I have tried are more of a darker brown/green grey and very noticably so. That results for me in less contrast with the lettering no matter the resolution/ppi.
I have eyestrain with LED lighting regardless of if it's backlit (which is far worse) or not. I prefer natural light or overhead incandescent/halogen light. LED frontlights always look off to me as well...it's never as flat looking as an un-lit screen. There is always a glow/color effects I don't like.
