The new Kobo is using a different screen controller. The original Vizplex does support 16 shades. It's just that not every screen controller allows this. So really, while yes you get 16 shades, you do not get a pearl screen just yet. I am expecting a time when no more Vizplex are made and it will only be Pearl. So no, it's not equal to the K3/650's screen.
