The controller is different which makes the display system different. Also, it sounds from anecdotal evidence that the new display system is a bit more prone to ghosting. Also, it sounds like the font isn't as "heavy" on the K2 as the K1.

So, while the eInk screen hardware is the same... the images can appear different from K1 to K2. But, I would also say that you will see variation from K1 to K1 and from K2 to K2 also.
