Screen contrast is critically dependent on the ambient lighting conditions. In direct sunlight, or good artificial light, the screen background is virtually white and the contrast excellent. In dim artificial light, the background darkens to a dark grey, and the contrast is very poor.
A good reading light is an essential "accessory" for the Reader.
I'm sure that future developments in the eInk field will improve the contrast.
