On second thought I was a little bit harsh and after 2 days use now I see the screen a little bit brighter than in my first post.
(So if you who read my posts disagree with my specification please excuse me)
Apparently I need to spend more time and try to find an equivalent color to my screen also I will try to shot pictures without using the flashlight and post here.
Also it would be great to see - as you said - is there any variation in the eink panels found in iLiads.

I partially agree with you: the screen IS grey, but it is not as dark as to impair reading; What makes quite a big difference is the lighting. Because the screen is a bit grey, low lighting has a stronger impact on it than on paper;
Actually before i received my iLiad i read all these rave reviews about the screen and how 'white' it is. After i received my unit i was a bit down by the greyness of the screen. Maybe the reviews raised my expectations to an unreasonable level(for this technology).
All in all i can say that i am quite happy with the iLiad and that i have gotten used to the screen color.
Taking a picture of the screen turns out to be an exceptionally difficult task, as there is no standard: different cameras, different settings, differnt light levels etc....
The best way to compare the screens is using your own 2 eyes. Even then your opinion might be different from somebody else's because the eyes are like cameras (only better), all different.
