I'll second Laurentiu's comment that "You'll get used to it!"

When I first got my PRS-600, the background grey was more noticeable than I expected, although my expectations were mostly managed ahead of time, thanks to this forum. At first I resorted to a Mighty Bright Xtra Flex book light when the grey was too much under certain reading conditions. The high color temperature of this light really improved the contrast of the Sony Reader.

But over time I've found myself not bothering with the light, except when reading in the dark, and discovered that I had gotten used to the grey background.

After a minor brush with 'buyer's remorse' I'm finding that I'm loving my PRS-600 the more I use it. It's proving to be a really worthwhile piece of kit.

Good luck!
