Last week I 'upgraded' my GloHD to a LibraH20. I'm happy with the big screen, buttons, and Overdrive support. However, the contrast on my Libra's screen is not nearly as good as on the GloHD.

On the GloHD, I read most of the time without the frontlight on at all (I find this more comfortable), but on the Libra, I find I have to use the frontlight almost all the time, unless I'm reading outdoors.

Are others experiencing this difference too? I'm guessing this is because of the Libra's capacitive screen compared to the IR on the GloHD. But I just wanted to check that I don't have a defective Libra.
