With respect, you are the first person I have seen who preferred the Kobo screen to the Sony Screens. Sony and Amazon both are sourcing the latest generation e-ink screens for their readers. The general consensus is that they represent a noticeable improvement in contrast and in how black the text appears. This is not to say that the previous generation, which is used by most other non-LCD readers is not good, just, that the newer ones are better.

Now that being said, the Kobo's might now be using the latest generation screens (I don't know). If so, it is possible that with better firmware, or just a particularly good batch of the screens, that they could look better than the Sony.
