I used to work in a print shop. You can go back a step further and compare letterpress printing to offset printing. In my opinion, offset is not even close to good letterpress printing, although offset is superior to "digital" (laser or inkjet) printing.
As for eReaders, I'm not that concerned about the "paper" color. I just want sharp, dark fonts with good contrast. I would love to be able to use a front-lit model, but my eyes won't cooperate. But I don't feel like I'm missing much as book lights and lighted cases fill in nicely (when reading in dim light) for me.
