Maybe they have been using the new eink system for a while now. But not saying anything as people would start returning their older ones for the new ones. Or complaining about not getting one.

Not the new eInk (at least I don't think so), but the screens are different than the earlier K2's at least in my experience. My K2us screen has a noticeably darker background than the K2i I bought for my mother for her birthday last week. The K2i screen however looks just like other Viziplex screens (Sony 505, Opus) that I have access to. I assume this has to do with the screens in the older K2's coming from LG (made under a sub contract) as opposed to coming from PVI/eInk, or at least this is what I have read.
