Amazon and Kobo are using the same screen. The screen is not paperwhite or even white. They are still grey. The background is lighter then last years Pearl screen. It is the light shining so close and then reflecting back that makes the illusion of being white.
What Amazon bought is the company who made the light for the PW. The Kobo uses a different tech but similar.
