Of coarse, it is probably just a front light, but I can hope.

The reports I've read about the SonyT2 seem to indicate that indeed there is an improved contrast due to the whiteness of the screen. I am pretty confident that the Kindle will show the same improvement since they use the exact same supplier.
With pearl eInk there were differences between identical devices, probably due to production issues. My mom's T1 is brigher than my K4NT -- I've heard people making the exact inverse observation. I hope these issues have been solved and that all devices will now consistently have high quality screens.
