The Readius has a linear resolution of 80 dots per inch (dpi) - that's similar to that of an original dot matrix printer; at that resolution you can clearly see all the "dots" which make up each letter.
All the 6" eInk devices on the market have a linear resolution more than double that - 166dpi, so a letter of a given physical size will have more than 4x as many "dots" in it on the eInk screen as on the Readius, and will look much more like printed text.
It doesn't affect what you can read, but it'll mean that the text will look much "smoother".
