final decision....

Gotta pick a color for my 300.....silver or dark blue?? Will either make a difference as far as how the contrast effects the type on the page? Kinda leaning to blue.....

Go with your gut on color. Some say the color of the outside bezel affects the contrast but with the 300's already good contrast I don't think you'll see any difference between blue and silver. I've seen both colors and are both very nice.

Silver is the One True Color.

Too bad you weren't around during the '505 color wars'. We had bandanas, gang signs and secret handshakes.

I actually went and ordered the blue one. I played with the silver one at Target, and although it's pretty nice, theres still some amount of brightness or light glare if you will, which might prove to be a little pain in the long run.

Just be aware if you're not already, the Blue is more purple than blue! The plastic on the sides is definitely purple, the front is debatable...

I like my silver one. The blue just seems to stand out more when you're trying to read.

If you don't like the color, buy a skin. Just in case

FizzyWater · 05-01-2010, 12:22 AM

I'm quite happy with the pink one.

I say go with the One False Color. You won't go wrong.

Go with your intestines on this one - or with your wife. If you don't have a wife, buy two ebook Readers.

Go with the colour you like. Contract is nothing compared to living with the wrong colour.

True. Not to mention that the contrast is the same on all of them the color of the unit affecting contrast is only an optical illusion. The specs are the same on all them be they silver, pink or blue.

Black goes with everything~

If it doesn't come in RED then go with blue.

For what its worth, a darker bezel does seem to make a difference, at least for me.
