I thought people were saying the K4 screen is better than the K3? Seems like there is either an awful lot of variation or an awful lot of subjectivity in the quality of these Pearl screens.

Feel like I posted this 10 times on these forums, but the best explanation came form the manufacturers themselves IMHO. Tom's Hardware contacted e-Ink about this when doing their K4 review:

"We called up E Ink Corporation to ask if this was a batch-related issue, and was told that this is most likely due to Amazon choosing a particular grade of display panels. So, while the new Kindle comes at a lower price, the company is probably cutting its costs as well by using a slightly cheaper display."
