I replaced a 505 with the K2, and while after staring at the two next to each other, the K2 seemed a tad less contrasty, it's not an issue in real life, as the experience is the same.

Same for the DX - it appears a bit more contrasty than the K2, when placed next to each other, but in practice are the same.

I think some of the comments re the K2 are from people for whom the K2 is the first e-ink display, and who expected 108+ paper-white, or are used to backlit displays with brightness turned up, and have a "huh" first-glance reaction to e-ink.
