Title: Poor contrast is a dealbreaker
Product review: It's with a very heavy heart that I'm returning my Kindle. I thought, mistakenly, that eink would be comparable to a regular dead-tree book. It isn't. Of course it's going to be a different experience for different people but for me the dark grey text on a light grey background was really hard to read & after 15 mins I would have eye strain and the beginnings of a headache. Surprisingly a bigger front made little difference. A crying shame as it would have been a fabulous product otherwise. I'll be keeping an eye out for the next generation with colour screens and hoping that the contrast will be closer to paper.
