I can't comment on whether the screen contrast is poor in comparison to other readers as the PP is the only one I have and seen.
Certainly it the 505 is better, but listed in order best to worse 505, kindle2, PP.

I also compared my 505 with the Sony 300 and 600 at the Sony store. The 300 and the PP are identical as far as contrast, the 600 is a bit better -- I'd put it as tied with the Kindle2 as far as display contrast.

Note too that there are variations in individual screens and between models as the eInk screens require an individual adjustment during manufacture of the various readers.
