I recently purchased a second hand PRS505. It is great fun and all is going well. However, even though the print itself is dark and clear, the background is also quite dark. Consequently the lack of contrast between print & background makes extended reading difficult. I feel that I am straining my eyes. There seems no way to lighten the background. Is this problem unique to me or my particular eReader? Any ideas, comments or tips would be greatly appreciated.
I guess this is why you hear so much about "backlit" screens?
Thanks in advance.
