I'm not sure if that also depends on how the Kindle and Kobo softwares handle grayscale conversion. What's black looks equally black in both screens to me.
It is true though that there's a certain generation of E-Ink screens that was really white, and I'm not sure there's been any screen quite as white in the following releases. The Voyage is one example, but the Kobo Aura H2O too has the whitest screen of all the readers I've ever owned, even though it didn't have 300ppi. The Glo HD screen too was really nice.

i definitely agree the Kobo Aura H2O has an excellent white screen/contrast. i can't comment on the Kobo Glo HD having not used one in person. it does beg the question why aren't the E-Ink screens of today as white as the Kindle Voyage/Kobo Aura H2O.
edit. for clarity, why aren't they as white with the front light off.
