I have several older Kindles with Pearl screens and without frontlights, both touch and non-touch. In very well-lit environments (direct daylight, directly under a good lamp) they still look pretty good and I wouldn't say there's much difference in screen quality compared to modern devices. In dimmer environments it's another story, though. There you can clearly see how much better the modern frontlit screens with sharper resolutions are.

I personally don't read on my older Kindles anymore, because I do most of my reading in late evening and the room is just not bright enough for those old screens to look nice. But I have compared them with my newer Kindles in daylight and they still looked good enough to me in those conditions.
