That is exactly the feedback I was interested in. While I am not going to pop for a KDX tomorrow, I had an intuition that the overall size of the panel will give a higher percentage of "white space" which in turn could equate to more light being reflected back to the reader's eyes. If that was the case I was getting a sense it would create, even if it's sort of a "special effects" sort of thing, a display that feels more contrasty with the characters standing out more.

I would bet that if one were to look at the same sized sections of a K2 and KDX panels, the color levels and contrast ratios would be the same...BUT, using the panels at their full size, the larger panel might appear to have a whiter background and darker characters. That could lead to a more paper like reading environment.

Again that was a pure thought experiment on my side as I know nobody with a KDX and do not plan on buying one.

EDIT: Neeeever mind this part of my post...brain cloud...thanks Sonist!!

For everyone else bantering about the ideal this and reading preference that, you missed the point of the question. The question was pretty clear and pretty much requires actually having used the devices in question, preferably at the same time.
I think the points made in this thread are interesting and sort of offer something worth looking at in more detail as more devices come out using the same cookie cutter components.
