The background of the e-ink display is just a tad bit darker than paper.
But basically light sufficient enough for you to read a book will also suffice for an ebook reader. |

What rahulm said. The contrast on the current generaton of eink isn't quite as good as it is on high quality paper books, but it's better than it is on a lot of crappy, cheap paperbacks.

I agree with these remarks. I find it very similar to reading real paper, with perhaps a little more light nice but not absolutely necessary.
