If you look at my pictures, you'll notice that the Pearl screen's white reflectance is not substantially higher than that of the old Vizplex. The background is about the same, with pretty much all the difference being in the black range.

You were expecting a bit too much, wanted a hardbound book's clear white pages. The kindle screen is much closer to a mass market paper back, though the three is probably brighter than a lot of newspaper. I've never made that comparison.

My experience comparing newspaper to EPD has been limited to domestic newspapers, but that experience shows newspaper stock to be of higher brightness than E-Ink. I've posted such photos before. I think Pearl has matched most newspaper in contrast, even if not really in whiteness.
