Different manufacturers do use different fonts, of course, and some use bolder or larger fonts than others, which can look "blacker", but the individual "dots" making up the font are just as "black" on all devices.

Well, yes, but my question is if the 360, 301, & 302 use the same screen as the PRS-300 & PRS-505, respectively.
It does seem there is some differences between the different manufacturer's devices, as Amazon's Kindle 2 clearly has a grayer background than the Sony PRS-505, for example.
From this youtube video, it seems like the Pocketbook 302 has a screen that is just as susceptible to glare as the Sony PRS-600. That's too bad. The way to avoid this seems to be to use a magnetic-based touch-screen (which goes behind the eInk layer) and/or to use a keypad. Outside of the Kindle 2, only the Hanvon
WISEreader N526 & N520 seem to have this, but they aren't out for sale yet (and I'd imagine are very expensive). The iRiver Story also has a keypad, but it seems to get poor reviews.
