What you say about the difference between the screen types is true. Yes, my screen is 6", but the letter size isn't influenced by that. I notice aliasing effects on, say, the diagonal components of an "A" when these lines are thin (so, smaller fonts are more of a problem). I suspect the e-ink display is running out of pixels and can no longer do a good job at anti-aliasing. It's not a big distraction for me--and some fonts are worse than others--but I can often see a small quality difference between a printed book and e-ink. I think printed books are 300 or 600 dpi.
Anyway... What I was getting at was that a 300 dpi screen may well look nicer than the current generation of displays. Probably not enough of a difference to make me want to upgrade, however. I think we're still at a stage where a contrast boost would be more useful than a resolution boost.
