No, the screen "sharpness" is exactly the same.
You're probably seeing that the Kindle uses a heavier, darker font by default. You'll notice that text on the Kobo appears sharper if you select a similar font.
Kobo Touch (and Nook Simple Touch) do a full screen refresh only every 6 pages by default, rather than every page like the Kindle. In between refreshes the pixels get a little fuzzier because a background effect builds up on the eInk screen (erased pixels don't quite go back to full white, black pixels previously erased don't quite go full black). You can change the KT to do a full refresh every page if it's enough to bother you.
