I had an original Kindle but sold it a few months after the initial purchase. I wasn't reading as much as I thought I would. I liked the screen and it did a good job.

A couple of years ago I picked up a Kindle 2 and the screen was about the same. Very readable.

Last year for Christmas I picked up a pair of Kindle 3s for Christmas presents and noticed that the screens were much brighter than the one on my Kindle 2. I am assuming that they are the pearl screens?

I'm now thinking about picking up a new Kindle for myself which has me wondering how much difference there is between the screen on my Kindle 2 and wither the Kindle Touch or the Kindle without the keyboard.

Does anyone with a Kindle 2 and newer Kindle have any input? I suppose I can take mine into Best Buy or WalMart and compare but you know how the crowds are this time of the year.
