In order of sharpness (all except last are quoted as 300 dpi):
Mars 7.8"
Kobo Libra 7"
Kindle PW3 6"
Kindle PW4 6"
Original Aura HD H2O 6.8", it's lower resolution, but sharp because there are less layers.
In order of brightness/contrast, with a reading lamp:
Original Aura HD H2O, it's lower resolution, but has IR touch, less layers than capacitive.
Kobo Libra, Mars and Kindle PW3 are about the same.
PW4 is duller.
I'm wondering are the 7.8" eink really 300 dpi, or 307 dpi?
The DXG 9.7", KK3 6", and Sony PRS-350 5" are all a similar greyness, OK with a good lamp but the kindles are poorer than all above for sharpness as they are low resolution. I think the PRS-350 has the same number of pixels as KK3 (800 x 600), so looks sharper. You really don't want the older eink like in the KK2 or DX.
I never use the front lights unless out somewhere badly lit. I'd use the same lighting as for a 40 year old paperback.
