The screen has a higher contrast ratio. The background is actually slightly darker on Pearl screens than Viziplex, but the Pearl screens are much sharper, and with much deeper blacks. The difference in background color is hardly noticable when compared to the difference in blacks. They're much, much darker.

The Kindle 3 is on the left, and the Kindle 2 (sporting the same model screen as the nook) is on the right.
