Given that both companies are obtaining their screens from the same supplier, I tend to rate those seeing major differences between, for example, the Kindle Voyage and Kobo Glo HD screens as being on a par with the golden ears crowd -- a group who once believed that running a green marker pen around the edges of a CD improved the sound.

I've looked at several Voyages and Glo HDs and the screen and lighting are not identical but comparing Voyages to Voyages and Glo HDs to Glo HDs shows the same results. Just read an
expletive deleted book instead of staring at the screen and worrying that someone else has a better screen.
For those who enjoy the humour of it:

"But the scattered laser light does not simply cease to exist! Rather, it reverberates and echoes around in the medium, much the same way that ambient sounds persist in any real world space except the anechoic studio. This cumulatively produces the 'airy,' 'spacious,' 'cloying,' 'harsh,' concert-hall feeling that the audio engineers try so hard to eliminate when they produce a 'dry' sounding master."
Perhaps not surprisingly, the company that produced that spiel no longer exists.
