So, for those who prefer hard-covers, and find micro editions unpleasant to read, the large screen is more appealing.
And, your intuition is wrong. If you were asking about brightness, the Kindle DX screen IS a tad brighter, than the Kindle v.2. If you cover the screens, so as to show the same size square on both devices, the DX screen still appears a shade lighter. (The iLiad BE screen is a tad lighter than the K2 as well.)
But both Kindles are readable, and unless you have them next to each other, and you are examining them, you wouldn't notice it. But, the DX also has a slightly greater font weight, which helps too.
