It's hard for me to believe there's a difference between the models when the people who have actually tested them with instruments have found them to be the same.
I thought I'd count the number of people in this thread who say that they've looked at both units, and count the ones on either side.
14 people say the screens are the same or the K4 is better, and 12 say the K3 is better.
It looks like more people are saying the K3 is better because the same few people on that side are posting over and over.
So, those few people, instead of seeing their situations as isolated cases, have concluded that there's a systemic problem, even though most people say the new screen is the same or better, and tests have shown them to be the same.
This is fascinating to watch.

The problem is there would be MORE people saying the K4 screen is inferior if many had already owned a Kindle 3 previously. The only ones that can really comment are those that have owned both devices. Like I mentioned earlier, if I hadn't have owned a Kindle 3, I would have never known anything was different about the screen. It's fine in bright light as many are saying, but a bit harder to read in lower light. The Kindle 3 had a better contrast.
