You should be able to make out the individual vertical/horizontal lines, the circles, and the grid around the circles, all 1 pixel wide on a 768x1024 display.

That is, unless the Kindle doesn't display images full screen. If there's a status bar or something you'll have to crop the image by whatever many pixels the Kindle wastes on that.
The 758x1024 looks fine and all the lines are distinguishable. I think one of differences is that the PW's surface is more matte than the Kindle 3's (I don't have a Touch so I don't know if that's any different). Matte surfaces reduce sharpness. If you also look very closely at the screen, you can also see that it seems to be more textured (probably from the matte surface or the nanoprinting).
