Alternate theory: The 758x1024 eInk screens are in the first generation or so and thus have not reached the level of quality as the screens used in the K4B.
What I am reasonably sure of is that Amazon did not use a specially designed eInk screen with the PW. That is simply marketing BS. They obviously used some off-the-shelf, ho-hum screens. They are relying on the light to make them look terrific, which of course it does not. Better than the Touch and the Nook Glowlight, but not the promised white background.

My theory is the people who made the Earlier K3s are now manufacturing the K4B. The people who did the K4S is now manufacturing the PW.
I use my booklight once to read in the dark already. It looked completely white.
I'm going to get a second K4B for backup just in case quality ever goes down. It's just that great of a reader.
