Some e-ink readers *look* brighter than others, depending on the surrounding color. But they're all using the same kind of screen. The earliest ones (over a year ago) were a bit greyer than the ones available now, but if you've seen the newer Sonys, you've seen the screens in use on all the other e-ink readers currently being sold. The only way to get "brightness" is to use an LCD screen, which (1) is hard on the eyes and (2) eats battery quickly. |

Welcome Steve. The 600 has a touchscreen which reduced the contrast slightly. The Sony 505 is the same eink display but without the extra layer so has a bit better contrast. (as does the 300 in a 5" screen). The Kindle2 and Kindle International have the same 6" screen and no touchscreen layer either.
