Just to put that in some context, I want to point out that 600 DPI in a 6" diagonal screen would mean a screen with resolution 2160x2880... which is pretty high-end even for a desktop, let alone a mobile device!
At this point, the graphics card (and also the power use) becomes the limiting factor. Until graphics cards get a LOT smaller and more power-efficient, you'll probably end up trading off between resolution and refresh rate, since no mobile graphics card will be able to do high-rez AND high-refresh at the same time.
Of course, by high-refresh, I mean video speeds. Once e-ink itself becomes faster, even refreshing a high-resolution screen once should be pretty much instantaneous to the human eye...
