Thanks everyone. I popped into a Sony shop today to a quick comparison and my screen is completely normal, so yes, guess i'll just get used to it.

Generally I am very happy with the reader. Just a little taken aback with the colour. The person who mentions the screen being better than a glossy magazine is right, that shininess would be much worse. The glare of the touchscreen doesn't worry me, being much less than a glossy mag.

So yes, a good light and also, I find, putting the text on medium is a good move. When the font's small (which I would prefer since the size of the small font is fine for me), the contrast seems fuzzier. I suppose a lot of smaller dark letters makes the overall screen seem greyer.

Thanks for all advice/opinions and happy reading.
