Thanks again.
Until/unless Kindle/Nook come up with a next-gen device using the Pearl Screens (which may or not be imminent) there is no significant difference in the screens; they all come from the same source.

So, yes, the screens on most (non-touchscreen) eink readers are roughly equally good. The differences you'll find will be driven by the quality of the software rendering the ebook rather than the screen itself. Touchscreen models are a different creature; some are fuzzy, some are glary and different folks have different tolerance levels.

The Jetbooks suggested above use reflective LCD screens instead of eink; they offer up much darker text but also darker backgrounds. They still look good but not quite as paperlike as the eink screens. That may or not matter; your call.
