Nothing at all (apart from the libfreetype, of course). Having them phisically here side by side I'm just wondering how different are their firmware.
And how different is eventually their hardware, even on the same models.
Actually I have 3 kindles here.
A KT with serial B011 (with a minor eink display damage), a KT3G with serial B010 and a KPW.
I've put the same firmware and the same hacks on the two KTs. In particular they have the simple screensaver hack with the same pictures loaded. It seems to me that pictures are rendered differently; specifically, rendering is better on the KT than on the KT3G (there's less shading on clear parts on the latter - they look uniform where they shouldn't be).
The KT has got regular updates since fw 5.0.1. The KT3G is a "refurbished with warranty" replacement and has come with 5.1.1 (or 5.1.0, I don't remember) and has been upgraded to 5.3.2 directly (just after being jailbreaked). Could the rendering difference be in something which was upgraded in an intermediate step and which has been forgotten in the latest firmware? Or could the difference be in the e-ink hardware? Or maybe it's just a bias of mine?
