I'm not comfortable with these sorts of subjective tests. Looking at a Kindle 2 screen, it looks pretty good until you put a K3 next to it. The human mind is INCREDIBLY subjective. The issues Sony had with clarity and contrast in their first generation of touch-based readers serves as a pretty good lesson on how much quality can be impacted by what is between the e-ink screen and your eyes.
Claims about fading have to be regarded as extremely subjective, until testing can be done comparing K3s to one another, showing if there are variations from one to the next.
