Kilarney · 03-06-2009, 11:47 AM

I own a Sony PRS-500. I was tempted by the PRS-505, but couldn't justify spending $300 for the slight improvements.

My only complaint with the PRS-500 is the screen contrast. The background is a little too "grey" for my liking.

Are there any e-readers with significantly better contrast? I didn't think the PRS-505 was enough of an improvement. But I am waiting...

I haven't been following the market lately, so I was hoping for some advice. If there isn't anything out there now that is a big improvement, is there technology on the "near" horizon?

Thanks!
