Although the pictures don’t highlight the differences, 2E is much more brighter and has better contrast.
The eink models vary a lot in contrast / sharpness / evenness of lighting even for same model.

The max brightness is irrelevant except for colour as no mono I've seen needs more than 20% unless you using it as a torch.

See comments about ancient Voyage vs Paperwhite 3 and Oasis 1 (6″) which probably use the same eink panel.

Also some Libra and Libra 2 look different and mine look the same (and better than PW3 or Oasis 2 (7″).

Cameras and especially people's screens are rarely good or accurate enough to compare.

Even if the font is the same name, it might be different or renderer using different hinting. Size affects font contrast/sharpness too.
