All of the e-ink readers (Sony, Kindle, Aztak, Hanlin, etc.) have the same basic display. It's not bright, because e-ink doesn't emit any light; it's opaque, like a printed book.
Some e-ink readers *look* brighter than others, depending on the surrounding color. But they're all using the same kind of screen. The earliest ones (over a year ago) were a bit greyer than the ones available now, but if you've seen the newer Sonys, you've seen the screens in use on all the other e-ink readers currently being sold.
The only way to get "brightness" is to use an LCD screen, which (1) is hard on the eyes and (2) eats battery quickly.
