Maybe, but LCD panels are a light source, so it's not apples-to-apples. I _perceive_ eink as higher contrast than any LCD.

That is odd as I definitely do not perceive that.

My Kindle has much less contrast than my iPad, phone or computer - albeit I have brightness turned up.

I only use the Kindle as its battery will last over a day if reading my iPhone will not and also if reading in bright sunlight.
