There is no indication whatsoever that the screen will be any different. This is a big concern for me as well as Mentor lite has the best screen contrast among Astak readers. Although they are all same generation e-ink technology, the EZ Reader screen contrast is not as good as that of a mentor, Kindle 2, Sony PRS 300 and the Nook. The lack of contrast is more obvious now as Kindle 3 now has the new Pearl e-ink technology which supposedly offers 50% better contrast (if you believe what Amazon advertised).
