"Comparing [contrast] the Daily Edition with the Nook side by side, the first thing you notice is that the letters and icons on the Daily Edition appear lighter and the background is slightly darker.... When you are holding the two units together and tilt them, the Sony's screen is much more reflective."

"To our eyes, the glare isn't bad at all -- it's nothing like a notebook screen or the PRS-700, and it's worth it for the immense usability improvements the touch screen adds. Clarity is good with none of the murkiness of the PRS-700 but contrast isn't quite as high as the wonderful non-touch e-ink Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300."

"The technology that makes the screen touch sensitive also dims it a bit, so the Daily Edition's screen is darker than the Kindle's. (Both are unlit monochrome screens with gray-scale graphics.) I found the Sony screen adequate, but it's tougher to read in lower light."

"In case you're wondering, there's no way to adjust the contrast. Nor can you change the font style, as you can on the Nook. But you can choose among six typeface sizes using the dedicated Size button--extra-small, small, medium, large, extra-large, and extra-extra large."

"While the Sony does have a small page-turning button, you can more easily turn pages by just swiping your finger across the screen. It's also better at navigating digital newspapers, something I've never found very satisfying on the Kindle."
