I don't think they're the same screens given the different specs: 16 grayscale shades on the Kindle 2 and 8 on the Sony 505. The original Kindle had the same (or quite close) screen as the 505. My SLR camera meters the 2 screens (with spot metering on the display not bezel) differently too.

That's why I have a skin on mine. It's a shame because I prefer the feel of the Kindle case material and I'd rather not have the gloss or the pattern on the skin. However I do appreciate having all that white covered up.
