I've had my Sony PRS-505 for about a month now, and wish it had a whiter background. (Wow, would I have been disappointed with the PRS-700.) I've felt that way from the beginning.
I just got a couple of print books from the library, older books (Galbraith's "Money" from 1975 was one), and I noticed immediately that I preferred the print on them with their creamy colored paper. A couple of days later I stumbled onto a more objective measure: the, um, bathroom test, where the poor lighting in my bathroom had caused me either to use a booklight with my Sony or magnify to large size print. Yet I had no problems reading the pbooks without a booklight. The print size on these pbooks is approximately somewhere between Sony's small and medium magnification.
Granted I'm not one who has sensitive eyes that are bothered by looking at an LCD screen, so I can see how others might prefer a gray background. Just giving my personal preference and gut reaction to the Sony screen.
