1. The difference varies with displayed content. When you compare picture (especially "screensaver") on Kindle 3 to text on PB360 the difference is striking. Text to text isn't *that* different.
2 The difference even more markedly varies with the ambient light. I have been comparing them in direct sunlight, indoors during the day, under incandescent light, under fluorescent lights, under mixed lightning conditions. Under artificial light, in conditions I do 90% of my reading in, the difference is minimal.

After comparing PB360 with Sony350, my experience is:
if there is not enough light, the pearl screen is really better. Perhaps it depends on your eyesight. Under good light the difference (for text) is not important.
If the text contains some thin lines (as in many math symbols, in scanned handwriting, if the font is small (sub/superscripts)), the pearl screen is much better. That makes me worry, since I'd like to use 90x for math text.
Maybe a comparison between the "old" PB360 screen and "new and improved" screen of 60x/90x would help.
