The ereader apps I've used on my PCs (Calibre with various CSS background changes, and Kindle for the PC) have a background that's just a little too bright.

Apologies for the poor picture quality - it's pretty much an optical illusion.
It proved to be difficult to photograph them all together because their display characteristics are different. I was only using a tiny pocket camera, and everything I tried gave bad results on at least some of the devices - either from the flash, light reflection, or whatever. No one light condition seemed suitable for photographing them together.
That pic was a compromise in that it was more or less inaccurate for them all.
It was taken outside but under the cover of a verandah. So the result is a combination of flash and the natural light. It was really only to show the relative sizes but, as you say, it does give a misleading impression of the displays. I'll add an edit.
Cheers,
Chris
