This information may be very out of date by now. Probably it is. And there's no reason to think the glass still suffers that same limitation or that the plastics today have anything in common with plexiglass of those days. Still, that does make me think it's not just automatic that glass lets more light through.
Please don't take any of this as decisive. It's just a reason to wonder about assumptions.

I don't know. But I do remember professional reviews of the Voyage (
Engadget,
c|net) mentioned the Voyage having a noticeably sharper, more contrast-y display than the Paperwhite that used the same screen.
