No. The number of grey-scales affects the number of shades of grey between "black" and "white", but since text is displayed in "black" it doesn't affect it at all.

Also, the new kindle is supposed to have a pearl screen, which was previously only used on the newest DX, I think. However, I don't know what that means.
I posted a photograph earlier in this thread which shows you exactly what it means. Much blacker "black" on the screen, hence improved contrast.
