Same here. I never really noticed or thought about the difference until it was brought up in this thread.

I found that e-ink was a little too dark with the 75w bulbs I used in my reading lights; I replaced them with 100w bulbs and it is now comparable to reading paper with the 75w bulbs.

Conclusion: e-ink is 25 watts darker than paper. YMMV
