Title: gray screen hard to read
Product review: When I first turned on the Kindle, I was shocked at how difficult it was to SEE with the gray background.I have an iPod and ASSUMED the Kindle screen would be as easy to read as that, but it's not the case. Even when I adjust the font, it's not the SIZE of the print, but the color of the background that makes it so difficult to read.I LOVE the ease of ordering books, magazines, newspapers, etc but "if I had it to do over again" would NOT have purchased it. At night, I find it's easier just to grab a regular book (that doesn't need to be held so close to the light) as it's brighter and MUCH easier to read.Oh, well.Just read in the New Yorker that there are places where you can go to SEE one before purchasing, but I wasn't aware of that option before.File under "live and learn."LOVE the concept, but HATE the gray difficult-to-read background.
