Am obviously well aware they are not really comparable, the point was that anybody used to reading on LCD will find e-ink Gray at first. Also when compared to the tea stain colour of the average paperback.

One point nobody has raised is the ghosting, - lines of white text left on shut-down or sometimes page change. This shows that the background has the potential to be whiter than it is. Is this due to the battery economy? Or is mine faulty.
