What about the screen?
This is nonsense. What is special about the Kindle is the e-paper screen, which is much easier on the eyes, especially for prolonged reading, than any LCD. Only epaper gives you an experience similar to that of reading a paper book. Given its characteristics (slow refresh, only black and white, no retroillumination) epaper can only be implemented in a special-purpose ebook reader, not in a general purpose device like the iphone.
