No, there are not several levels of quality. The screens are all the same. Sony does not use a lower quality screen then anyone else. I'm sorry, but if you read the forum, you'll find screens breaking from all different brands. It's not just Sony. Amazon, Bookeen, and others all have had screens break. Please don't go spreading false information. A 6" eink screen as used by Sony is the exact same screen as used by Amazon and B&N and Kobo. There is no difference in quality.
