What you might be seeing is an optical illusion based on the white case of the Kindle vs. the blue or silver of the 505
Man, you shouldn't say that if you didn't see both items (Maybe you did?). I have both and they do appear different. I am not sure if this is because of the control chip, 4 color vs 8 color etc. And... I actually think that PRS-505's screen is slightly better than Kindle. THe background of 505 is cleaner: the Kindle screen has quite several noise points, while 505's is uniformly gray. Therefore, for my three devices, I think
505 >= Kindle > 500.
