Would it be possible for you to do a similar scan on a page of text? It would have to be the same page in the same font on both to really work.

Same as before cropped / shrunk image here with link to the original scan.
Left image with black border around screen is the Kindle 3, Right image with white border is the Kindle 2 International.
