A newspaper has a contrast ratio of 11:1 while the Pearl E-Ink screen has a ratio of 10:1. What I notice is that the white background is more greyish on the Kindle, but the black "ink" is more intensely black. Offset printing always looks faded to me, especially with water-based ink. The new Pearl screen isn't as good as the best hand-printed letterpress books, but to my eyes it's as good as the mass-market stuff.
