My experience (and I think most people too) is that the layers on the modern Kindles reduces the contrast (not by a lot just a little) so that the older ones (no touch or infrared touch) generally outperform them excepting the Voyage.
IMO, my my older devices look "washed out" compared to my newer Glo HD. I just looked at my Kobo Touch and Sony 505. Compared to my Glo HD the background is greyer and the text isn't as black. To me, this looks washed out, now that I am used to the Glo HD. Even holding the Touch directly under a light (something I'm not going to do during normal reading), it still looks washed out, compared to my Glo HD.

If you prefer, I'll change "washed out" to poor contrast.
