I find the contrast fine on my ereaders. More contrast would be nice.
As for the view that e-readers have higher contrast than paperbacks, I believe this is false. E-ink screens go up to 15:1, whereas paperback books are around 50:1.
As for the view that too much contrast is harsh, I am puzzled. You're saying that a brand new print of a paperback will have dark black text and this will be 'harsh' for you, and you'll prefer to choose an older, more faded print?
