Dear Amazon:
We the undersigned users of the new Kindle 2 respectfully submit this petition and ask you please increase the contrast of the new Kindle.
As it stands right now, the text is hard to read in most light situations. The background is relatively dark and the text is not black. The first Kindle had the perfect amount of contrast and we consider it to be a step backward to have to struggle to read now.
Many of us feel that this could be a deal-breaker and that we would rather return the Kindle 2 than try to read on it with difficulty.
