Kobo and Kindle use the same Pearl screens (except the latest Kobo H2O and Kindle Paperwhite 2 which use a higher contrast Carta screen), so the underlying contrast should be the same.

But a Pearl screen with a frontlight (such as Kobo Aura HD and Kindle Paperwhite 1) has an extra layer for the light guide which might reduce contrast a little (when the light is off) compared to a Pearl screen without a frontlight (such as on the Kobo Touch or basic Kindle).
