Also posted this topic on Kindle discussion forum so please forgive the duplication but I want as many opinions as possible because I was thinking of returning my Kindle 2.0.
Received my Kindle 2.0 and was very disappointed with the "improved contrast". I'm wondering if I have a defective Kindle 2.0 but it seems to me that the Kindle 1.0 had a better contrast in that the print appeared darker and bolder against a lighter background? I no longer have my kindle 1.0 to compare both screens "side by side". If anyone else out there can do this I would appreciate their input.
I know the Kindle 2.0 has other advantages but frankly the Kindle 1.0 also has its own advantages and the Kindle 1.0 was more than functional for me. If it is true that the Kindle 1.0 has a better contrast than the Kindle 2.0 then this issue for me trumps all other issues. That's just me.
If the overwhelming opinion from Kindle 2.0 owners that their kindles have equal or better contrast than their old Kindle 1.0 I am going to ask Amazon to replace my defective Kindle 2.0 otherwise I might just have to revert back to the Kindle 1.0. Looking forward to people's input. Thank you.
