But I don't believe that there are different grades of Pearl screens used in e-ink readers.

(And this appears to be supported by the fact that many people are reporting that their K4 Buttons have better screens than their K3 Keyboards.)
I don't think grade means what you think it means. I wouldn't call pearl a different grade of eink, I'd call it a new generation. I'd imagine grade refers to variation among screens with the same technology.
