Hi - I have just got the 600, had it about a week or so. Generally I'm very happy with it. But I'm worried that I may have a faulty screen.

Even in good, strong light the screen is a dull grey. I'm not expecting back lighting of any sort, I know eink technology is grey scale and so on. But I'm talking mid grey here.

I also appreciate that talking about colours is very tricky and that what I see on a monitor may not be accurate. (Youtube reviews really seem whiter.) But having said all that, could other owners let me know if they would call their 'pages' almost white, a little off white or definitely grey? My screen is very definitely grey.

i suppose for a definitive idea I'll have to find my nearest Sony shop, but I don't know if the 600 is sold in Belgium, I got mine sent to my parents in the UK.

Could some kind person also let me know if the 'greyness' of the pages is the same across models? Not talking screen issues here (glare/reflection aside). If I found another model of reader in a Sony shop, could I expect the colour of the page to be the same and so use it to compare? i know there are contrast issues, I'm not talking about any fuzziness on the letters themselves, just the background colour.

Many thanks
