I have a 500 too and my reading is also painful when night time comes.
I think those first eink screens lose contrast with age. The background is definitely a darker shade of grey.

Yeah, yeah, rub it in! You got rid of your 500 just in time...
Bob, what's the latest in eink contrast? It seems they don't talk about it much anymore.
I find myself reverting to paper more and more because it IS more readable under artificial light than my ol' 500. The 500 screen is darker than paper. But that's what makes it better in direct sun conditions; less glare.
