Also, 800 pixels wide is much better for some web pages than 640.
The Nokia's 4.1" screen is almost exactly 1/2 the size of a 6" E-Ink screen, but its pixels per inch is higher and it is in color. For e-books, a Nokia would typically be in landscape mode and you then have the same width as the 6" screen but need twice as many (very fast) page turns.

I really like my new N810 and I am very impressed how good the standard programs work. Before I got the N810 the Cybook was the best gadget I had ever bought but now it has competition. And just installing openssh get you something you can log into which for me is very useful. And getting my ebooks to the N810 was just a checkout using subversion.
I think it is better to read in portrait mode since you can use a smaller font and in landscape mode you then get too long lines.
Getting information from pdf file when you have scrolling and fast zoom is also very easy. My use for this is bus time tables.
