Here's a little more information on the new screen tech. It claims a 50% increase in screen contrast as opposed to the 25% mentioned in one of the articles.

Quote:
E Ink Carta displays utilize a new electronic ink formulation and technology to provide a dramatic 50 percent improvement in contrast ratio and over 20 percent improvement in reflectance over previous generations of E Ink displays for a remarkably improved viewing and reading experience.

I'll have to see it in person before I can decide on upgrading. It'd be a significant step up from my old Kindle 3.
