One of the most poignant replies above was the one that mentioned the real problem is the distractions the other apps present when reading. Understatement.

I don't think brightness is a huge issue, but rather resolution as I stated. At the end of the day though you just have to go into the store yourself and play around with it because peoples' preferences vary so much.
