On the kindle, does having the bezel much whiter than the screen make the screen darker, lighter, or no difference? I wonder if irex's decision to make the dr800sg's bezel of a similar shade to the actual screen a design decision to make the screen appear whiter in the psychological sense. I think one needs first hand experience with a device to judge this and not rely on a flash photo. Any users with both the kindle and iliad?

Square A appears to be darker than square B...


but's it's only in your mind (it helps to use your hands to block out the surrounding squares or cut two holes on a piece of paper and apply it to the first image).
