Light must be distributed equally and both screens must also reflect the same surface.
The font on the SiPix does look darker, but so does the white point. Significantly so. How much of that is light and reflection and how much of that would play out in a real comparison is harder to assess.
The bezels cause a division that make it harder to compare in the first place, so I've taken the liberty of cropping out portions of the screens.
The lightness/darkness of the text and even the background isn't clearly indicative of anything until a good test shot can be done. I'm afraid I don't have a SiPix device handy to do such a picture.
If the black point for solid black is indeed darker on a SiPix screen, that could be a benefit for text display.

I read a time ago about Sipix screens over the russian forum.
They are different, both in technical features and user reading/view experience. Darker, slower, but much cheaper, better in multitouch features, and no glare. Also, they promised, when really shipping to new readers (feb. or march), to have improved all of these to catch up eInk.
Wait....
