The display of the PB Color looks noticable darker. In the last, close-up picture you can see, that the background does not turn completely "white". (Small, grey dots remain.) Maybe this just a software issue?

I confirm that small, grey dots remain. I don't think it is a software problem: I fear that it is the Kaleido level for color that causes the issue but I am not so expert to really answer the question.
I need to use it at 50% level of light, of course the lighting preferences are pretty personal.
After all it is a good device but not excellent: the color level is better than anything before and this is the first time that there is a usable color device. It is good with comics, especially for the color, but the 6" screen sometime is not great enough. It is not suitable for books of art or books of photos, not only for the 6" screen but also because 4096 levels of color are not enough for that kind of books.
I have a few non fiction books with colored photos or design, In that cases I appreciate the color but the vast majority of my books don't have them. To see the colored covers is funny but when You read it is not so important. When You read You see the colored headings or sup notes or link.
I don't write a complete review because I should talk about text to speech, send to pocketbook ecc but that features are not peculiar of PB633 Color.
I say only that it is quite small and light. And it is not very fast.
In conclusion: I bought it because I wanted to take away a whim. I'm not sorry I did it but all in all I recommend it only for those who have money to spend and love this type of toys, as it costs almost twice as much as a normal 6" device.
If you like comics it can be an incentive to buy it.
