It's nowhere near as good as the quality of text used for book printing.

I remember. Still highly readable imo. But still I dont notice any big difference of text resoulution between, vizplex, pearl or the k3/4. I just dont think that text needs a high resolution to be comfortably read or enjoyed and that people make too much a deal about it when concerning ereaders.
Though I think pearl screens are a little better than cheap newsprint, if they werent I would still have no problem with it. I have read newspaper print happily for years.
