Seriously, go look at the two side by side. 160 PPI readers can't render text without jagged edges and a blurry effect. It's less noticeable in large fonts, but the first 4 font settings on a kindle are horrible. After you've actually looked at both side by side, then come back and tell me you don't see a difference.
