High contrast is a relative thing. The contrast of the Sony Reader seemed more than adequate to me. Others may disagree. The Jetbook's contrast may indeed be better than the Sony or the Kindle. But, if you asked people to pick between A) a high contrast device that doesn't let them read the books they want, B) a medium-low contrast device that does let them read the books they want, or C) none of the above, almost everyone would pick B, or maybe C. No one would pick A. The world's best, most high tech device is useless if it fails at its primary task, reading the books that you want to read.

Yes, they never claim that. But, a head to head comparison is supposed to be complete. If I am doing a head to head comparison and I claim that product A has X and I say nothing about X when I talk about product B, everyone is going to assume that B does not have X. Otherwise, how can you do an honest comparison when you only mention the good features of product A and none of product B? It's a misleading and dishonest comparison in that case.
