You can in this pic see the difference of variations between the two. The K4 is a light grey and the K3 a creme even though it's in the one in shadows if I put it in the light it's gets near off white, no grey to be seen but I am trying to show the K4s and my K3s difference not the brilliance of my K3 screen.  |
I bought a K3 3G with Special Offers this summer and the background is very grey. I think if it was more white, the contrast would allow me to use a smaller font. As it is, the contrast is poor so I use a very large font and have to turn the page often which is frustrating.
I wonder if they used a cheaper grade for the SOs also?
When I was at Best Buy, the previous Nook (non-touch) looked much better than the Kindle because it was much more white. Maybe Amazon unloaded some lower grade batches to other stores.

I did some brief test just now by loading a pure black & pure white(blank) page on to each reader, then used my X-Rite i1 spectrophotometer to measure each of its black & white color data, I don't find the black "a little darker" on the Nook STR, in fact, the K4's black is darker.
Below are the comparison image I've created using photoshop based on the L*a*b reading of the spectrophotometer, then converted to sRGB color space:

That is so cool! My K3 background looks much more like the Nook STR.
