I understand perfectly, as I used a K4 as my main reader for a couple of years. When I got my Voyage, I was disappointed at first, because its unlit screen looked much worse than the K4. But the trick with modern screens is to set the frontlight so high the screen looks lighter/whiter, but not so high it actually looks like a lit screen. When I read in the artificial light, I usually set the frontlight at level 9 and the screen looks pretty good to me, better than my old K4 looked in the same environment.
