I have some hardcovers that are bright off-white/ivory, but most of my paperbacks were grey or yellow. They did have better reflectivity than an unlit ereader, though.

I think the shiny white paper used in many magazines and some books has worse glare than a shiny LCD screen. Sometimes it is difficult to arrange the light, paper, and eye so that reading is even possible.

True. Bright white and shiny paper is no fun.

Hi,
The background of E-ink Screen was grey not white

Then 2012-13 excited me a lot as Kindle Paperwhite made headlines.....


so, I turned the light level to lowest. but after minimizing the lights the same grey

Hi - I'll just add that I did not like the lighted grey screen of PW1 either - in fact I gave it away. I really didn't like it.

PW2 has a much warmer screen - more of a cream than grey, and I love it. For me personally, I found a huge difference between the reading experience on PW 1 & PW2, so if you have a chance, you might want to have a look at it.

LOL, that's no joke! The same thing happened to me last week. I tapped a paper page in a magazine several times, wondering why it wouldn't change.

That light from Kobo Glo only hurts my eyes when I have a hangover. I don't even notice it otherwise.
