When Pearl screens first came out, people were saying that the background was "white". I honestly cannot agree with that; to my eye, the screen background is pretty much the same as it is on the older screens; the improvement is that the text is now truly black rather than grey.

I'd say you're right on. From what PVI/eInk says the white state relfectivity of Viziplex is "40% (typical)" and of Pearl it's "40%". So unless I'm misunderstanding that that means they're virtually the same.
I'm not sure I'd want a pure white background. I think it might end up harder on the eyes after a long reading session.
The new screen is fabulous. I'm not sure they could do much to make eInk any better as far as grayscale goes.
