I own 2 Kindle 1's and owned a Kindle 2 untill I sent it back.
The K2 screen was a murky greenish hue with faded text. I am not the only one who had such a K2...there are many others with the same complaint.
I have the two K1's side by side with the 505 ( I now have two of these) and the 300, I have the same Philip K. Dick book loaded (from Amazon). The differences are significant. The Sony's have a much "whiter" look to them with far better contrast than the Kindles. They do not look the same...not even close.

The eInk screens have a "bias" adjustment that is apparently unique to each screen. This is adjusted/set when the device is manufactured, from what I understand, so it is reasonable to believe that different settings (or individual differences) could result in overall differences between models even when using the same display type.
Other perceptual differences are caused by font selection. To me the 505 does appear with slightly more contrast than my Kindle2 and significantly more than my Astak PP (5") and significantly more than the Sony 300 that I compared it against at the Sony Style Store.
