Matte is "only" around 50:1, which still beats e-ink by a lot. Newsprint struggles to approach even that because the inks are formulated to be inexpensive, thus not heavily saturated, so the "black" is really a dark gray, and the paper is cheap pulp that probably couldn't be bleached really white without disintegrating anyway.
That's only for glossy though, right? That comes with glare, which is annoying for reading.
