The background is definately greyish, much more so with poor lighting. I find it acceptable, personally, it's similar to the greyish or tannish background of a newspaper or cheap paperback unless I'm in very dim light. Perfect, no. But worth the tradeoff of being able to take notes on it and replace those jillions of sticky notes that I otherwise have in my life. If I were to be exclusively using the device to read, I would probably go with something that had reportedly better screen contrast.
FWIW, I also find the infamous glare similar (actually, usually less) than what I encounter with slick-print items. I actually did a side-by side of the reader and a magazine on my kitchen counter with bright overhead lights. Couldn't read the mag at all. The reader again wasn't perfect, but it had a much smaller area of unreadable glare that I could work around much more easily.
