Judging contrast/brightness from a photograph is next to impossible. Exposure time, white balance, light sensitivity (eyes and camera sensors don't behave the same to light levels), all conspire to make a photo look different from how we see something. I wouldn't trust it unless @paperwhite said the photo looked exactly like how he saw the ereader at that moment. Even then, who knows if your and his monitor show the photo the same way?

well, can still compare N96ML with frontlight, and DXG without any lights at all

but yeah, it's hard to compare just the brightness (with a Kindle Paperwhite)

I'll probably make my video/comments on the N96ML thread, since I already decided which one to buy (unless I dont like the N96ML or some other nice shiny product gets announced)
