I have seen the nook touch and the Kindle has more contrast.
I have read NUMEROUS articles and impartial reviews that say touch screens have LESS contrast, specifically the nook touch. Even Amazon is concerned about the loss in their new touch model.
I have seen numbers of pictures from others pointing out the same thing. Look at my links.
If you have some links to any reviews that state that the nook touch has the the same contrast as the Kindle 3, I will be happy to read them. Until then, I'll stick with my statements.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, you stated, in no uncertain terms, that - and I quote - "touch screens, they have lower contrast than the Kindle". That was true of the original touch screen devices that had an additional layer for the touch, but it is no longer true of today's devices.
The screen used in the Kindle 3, Nook touch, Kobo touch, Sony 650, ... are all based on Pearl. Within the tolerances of different batches, the screens perform identical on all devices, whether there is an infrared grid on top or not. There are additional, minor, differences due to the font rendering engine, but those should be minor. The point remains that all these devices have the same screen technology, and the screen is not affected, to any degree, by having an infrared grid used for touch interface.
