I have a Sony 500. Today I compared it to a Sony 300. I was surprised. The 300's contrast was much stronger. The 300's background was much whiter.
I don't know if it is a different eink screen or the age of the 500.
You may wish to have the ability to reject the used 505 or to return it if it has low contrast. The problem may be unique to my 500 not all 500's. Of course it may not apply to the later 505.
