From the looks, the Energy Sistem eReaderPro(+) is a relabeled Boyue T62D(+) ; this is not a complaint, as the Boyue is currently hard to come by (Banggood stock has been sold out for a while), and the eReaderPro+ is very competitively priced (for us Europeans).

The variation in frontlight colour would imply the speculated OEM (Boyue/Boeye) implementing different parts in a very short time (which, on second thought, shouldn't be to much of a surprise).


Nevertheless, I went the advised road, disabling the frontlight and taking daytime pictures :

(T61 / T62D+ / Pro+)

While it may not be immediately visible from the rather low-quality pictures (slightly fuzzy pictures, inexpensive camera), in reality the T62D+ has definitely a very nice slightly cream-like screen, with no visible texturing. From the closeup, I think it is reasonable to say the T62D+ has the better contrast too.
The eReaderPro+ screen is much more white, has less contrast, and suffers from dithering/pixelation (especially with darker grey backgrounds), appearing more like the T61 (which in my particular case is not too representative for a good Pearl screen).

These pictures were taken with a disabled frontlight ; with an active frontlight, the differences become even more visible.


Meanwhile, an ES representative has courteously replied in a response to my ES forum post, assuring the Pro+ is equipped with certified Carta screens.
