Edit: I've ajusted the settings on my Kobo Glo HD to get as close a match to that screen as possible.

(The endless tweaking options of the Kobo is the big difference from the Kindle, but I think Kindle default is still better than Kobo default out of the box.)
I agree that it's a bit too light. Before I bought the kindle I was expecting it to be as bold as Caecilia but with lovely serifs like Baskerville or Palatino. Instead it's a bit more refined than either serif font but also thinner.

I think that when Bookerly appears on the basic it will look bolder simply because the letters will be thicker due to the lower resolution.
