Just the Kindle, and I could tell a difference (less contrast due to grayer background). You can tell a difference in the pictures posted by users here. Also, there are a ton of people on these forums who have several devices who all report the same differences in screen clarity.

I would think they all look the same, but they don't. I know in the case of the PRS-600 it's the touch screen that causes excess glare, but I don't know why other (non-touch screen) devices don't look as good.
