Very interesting regardless which screen is better. I wasn't aware there were different grades of screen.
It's also next to impossible for us consumers to really tell if one has a better grade than the other. Even if we were to get 100 people here saying their K4 was better or worse than their K3 it wouldn't be useful data. I've noticed all over the internet that by and large people who have bought one product over another generally convince themselves that they've made the right decision, to the point where the actual facts don't matter.
My own tuppence on the matter is that if the screen really was a lower grade then there would be enough K4 owners saying it for it to sound more plausible. That and the person from E Ink corp. that Tom's spoke to possibly didn't really know the specifics and was grasping in the air. Perhaps they were guessing that the K3 used Pearl and the K4 used a different grade of screen with a different product name as an explanation.... and in reality there's always going to be slight differences between individual screens.
