The text contrast can be easily changed on both units with the sliders to increase the weight.
Look at the video at 3:17 and you will see that the text at the top of the screen is easier to read because there is more contrast with the Kobo.
Here is the screen grab from the video showing the last of contrast on the Kindle.

I did my own screengrab. In my opinion, two readers are prioritising different things. Whether that is down to hardware or software, I don't know. But as it is, on that example, Kindle is clearly rendering more colours. Compare orange cat on the right, and yellow blob in the middle. Kindle's rendering is gradual, while Kobo's colour transitions are harsh and plainly visible. But if we look at the whites of the eyes and teeth, then Kobo is clearly superior. Smother gradients, more detail all around. I'm pretty sure that's the reason behind Kobo appearing much brighter compared to Kindle. It does whites and greys better.
It'd be interesting to see comparison of black and white comics. Or any black and white art of different grey levels. If the difference is seen there as well, then it'd be willing to bet, that it's all down to hardware.
