For a new 8.1 screen I'd be hoping for at least 960x1280 resolution - 198 dpi.

(I think eInk ought to be working towards 300dpi - 900x1200 on a 5" screen, perhaps 1440x1920 on an 8.1".)
The 300dpi would be GREAT. But there might be some pretty rough physical limitations imposed by the current eink design tech. It means more than just increasing the DPI by 150% from the current standard of about 200dpi...there needs to be space between the cells as well...plus the particles used inside each cell might be impossible to make smaller and still retain their physical integrity. We need the eng-in-ear folks to help us on this one.

Agree 100%...
