Okay, now I know what you are thinking: they're the same screen! Nope!
The Sony uses a slightly glossier screen. Sort of like the difference between the new generation of laptop screens, coming in either glossy (the Sony) or matte (the Kindle)... not nearly as dramatic as laptops by any means, but that's the difference I see.
The Kindle is "duller" in terms of external reflections, so it's easier to read. You don't see reflections off paper, do you? That's one reason I preferred the Kindle.

I agree that the screens are different. The blacks on the Sony look deeper and the background lighter, making it easier to read in low-light. I suspect you're right that it makes the Kindle slightly more pleasant to read from / a more paper-like experience in direct sunlight.
