I saw someone on the subway holding a kindle2 and from what I saw the screen background looked kinda greyish compared to my EZ reader. I didn't have my EZ reader with me then so I couldn't have a direct comparison on the spot. Does anyone own both?

As far as I'm aware all 6inch eink screens are the same regardless of device manufacturer as all screens come from the same supplier. Maybe there are some differences in the batches produced?

Yeah, I know there's only one supplier of e-ink screens, but there are 4-greyscale, 8-greyscale and 16-grayscale ereaders. Are they still using the same screen?

Yes, but different controllers.
