I never had that with my Kindles, and when I switched to my Kindle Voyage I didn't have that same problem.
Now it might all be in my head, but somehow I felt as if the frontlight was more like that of a tablet/phone than that of an e-ink screen. My Kindle screens felt quieter and calmer, less grainy too.
So I ordered an Oasis 3. At first to just have an extra e-reader (one can never have enough e-readers  ), but now that I've seen the difference between the screens firsthand (most noticable in the dark, but actually quite visible in any lighting except for full sunlight) I can definitely say that the Kindle screen is so much better.
Am I just that sensitive? Because not a lot of other people seem to comment on this. So I feel as if it's just me. |
Sorry to read that your Libra proved unsatisfying. I can believe that, although I don't have such a drastic experience myself (but then, I never read in the dark). Yes, the screen of my Oasis 3 is better than the screen of my Libra, but I wouldn't say it's
much better, except in the dark. Otherwise they're pretty close, imho. Unfortunately for many people who can't keep the lights on at night, all the faults of eink screens and frontlights are especially noticeable in the dark.
