I'm looking to buy a second device that I can share with the family, and I'm wondering if it's the same way between all ereaders (Kindle, Nook, Sony, etc).

The comparison chart (http://koboereader.com/cad/Kobo-ereader-comparisons/) says that all the eReaders have 16 level screens, but is that for the original Kobo too, or just the Wifi? Also, can anyone tell me how the Kobo Wifi screen compares to the others, in terms of background brightness/text clarity?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
The old Kobo has only 8 screen level
if you want to see to difference you can open a gray scale photo via Adobe Photoshop and convert it into 8 and 16 gray format and see the difference by yourself.
