This really isn't true. Mask off the surround and then compare the screen background with that of a device with a 2nd generation Vizplex screen. The background colour is well-nigh identical. The contrast is higher due to the blacks being blacker, not the background being whiter.
Attached are two pictures of my Kindle 2 and Kindle 3 side by side, and then a close-up of a portion of the screens of the two devices. You can see on the close-up that, although the K3 (lower image) has significantly blacker text than the K2 (upper image), the actual background is no whiter.
