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.
But look at the top of the screen and you'll see the text on the Kindle is hard to read but not so on the Kobo. Also in another comparison video, you can clearly see how the Kindle has lost a lot of fine detail in some of the comic images.

Yes, the color can be stronger on the Kindle, but with a loss of detail and sometimes muddy graphics. Neither is good enough (IMHO).
