There's absolutely no difference in contrast between older Kindles and PW. They throw around big numbers like that because the lit screen seems to have whiter whites, in reality the only advantage is the higher resolution.

They even went as far as saying they expect people to always have the light on, even in brightly lit rooms, which is ludicrous. The light is basically there to hide the grayness.
