I completely agree with you.

The grey screen is not the result of an option made: it is the result of the present day limitations of e-ink tecnologie.

I would like a better contrats: whiter screen; darker text. This contrast might not be very good on a backlight screen, but on a e-ink (or on paper) it is. That is why magazines usually have much whiter pages than a newspaper: the cost of it. Only.

Yes, present e-ink screens are VERY readable. But that is not the point, is it? Being readable should not be enough. I love my Cybook, I read on it every day. But if a new one was going on sale tomorrow with a, say, 30% better contast, I would by it - no question about it.
And that day WILL come.
