Don't get me wrong, guys, I'm all for an improved eReader but I don't want to be swept up in the post-release euphoria of the GDX. Let's give it a week or so and see what people really think. Until now, I'm getting mixed reviews.

Could some of this just be individual variations in the screens? I.e., it's the luck of the draw how white your screen is. Could that be possible?
What makes me say this is one of your previous posts, wherein you say your Sony 505 is "by far the best screen I've seen on an eReader." I just returned a Kindle 2 U.S. refurb, but before I did, in a side-by-side outdoors test, my eyes saw no difference in the background colors on the two units. It just looked like the Kindle used a less clear font. Maybe my 505 screen is from a different manufacturer, or different manufacturing run than yours? Or maybe there can be noticeable variability within runs?
