the wireless kobo made huge strides in screen quality.
i took it to my cousins to show him (he has the aluratek) and he was instantly surprised at how white it looked. i'm sure the pearl is just a tad better but to a regular consumer i doubt they'd notice any difference.

if they made the resolution higher as in the iriver mentioned earlier that could potentially make a big difference, especially on books that include pictures such as decision points.
they're great now but they'd be just that much sharper and possibly pdf's would look slightly better.

as of now though the kobo shows them all great.
