I've been in two minds about the new Pearl screens - some pictures show a noticeable difference while others don't. But I bumped into someone with a Kindle3 on the tube this afternoon and managed to compare it to my 505. There's no doubt that text was much denser on the Pearl screen and the background was slightly lighter (though that was less noticeable). Of course I've hacked my 505 to use Minion Caption whereas the K3 was running slabs'r'us Caecilia (which sacrifices any grace at the altar of readability), so part of the difference might be down to the K3's massively-tweaked font, but there was no doubt that the Pearl screen was able to go quite a bit darker than the Vizplex.
The Pearl screen isn't a massive step forward, but it's enough of an improvement to make a serious difference.
