I have to disagree with this (my daemon is forcing me!). Maybe it is just my super-vision Astigmatism correcting lenses or something but I am able to discern (without effort) a distinct and pronounced difference between your average Mass Market and an e-ink screen (even Pearl, and then the differences just get worse from there the more you climb the quality level in printed books).
Unless you meant "...pretty much the same as..." as in "Sharp cheddar is pretty much the same as Swiss" in which case I could agree with you (because it reverses the normal understanding of the phrase! Neat!).
As great as the Sony screens are and as great as e-ink is in general it still has a pretty good way to go. Which is awesome for them, because it will necessitate further purchases by us as the technology progresses. Yay! Save your pennies now. (I personally look forward to future e-reading devices even though I like the ones now).
