If Amazon had done something to improve the screen, and upgrade the storage, intending the upgrades to be a new paperwhite, I'm sure they would have announced it. Manufacturers claim to have something new as soon as they so much fart at a somewhat different angle.
I think the 2 GB upgrade and any screen differences are coincidences; replacing phased out 2 GB chips, and a screen hitting the peak of production quality.
