The process of making (manufacturing) e-Ink displays is not so refined yet and there is up to 30-40% difference in the contrast and gray-ness of the different batches of displays even in the same model. This (and different lighting conditions and the camera settings) is the cause of the differences in the photos of the Kindle displays that we discuss here. Of course - there are three display types by manufacturing process used in the Kindles - Kindle 1 use Vizplex 1.0 (this is my numbering), Kindle 2 Intl use advanced Vizplex 2.0 and Kindles DXG / 3 use Pearl displays.

Yes, there is a some outline (afterdark - opposite to the afterglow) by the previous page's text. I think this is caused by the forcing the display to refresh faster. Some kind of the 'overdrive'. It is not fatal and of course it dimnish after a time or on the next page.
