According to eInk's specs on the Pearl display, the resoltion capability exceeds 200DPI. So I don't know if that is simple marketing hype, or if that means that the 6" eInk pearl displays that everyone is using is simply "the best" display that eInk can produce at the price point that the manufacturers are willing to pay for their eReaders. Current density is around 164DPI (I measured the width of my Nook ST screen at ~3.675 inches). So that to me at least says that they could ramp up the density a little. 702x960 would get you to 193DPI and 768x1024 would get you 212DPI...which might be beyond the capabilities of eInk Pearl...or maybe not.

i don't know about the pearl displays, and no idea about cost, but seiko has produced an e-ink watch with excellent contrast & 300dpi resolution. i'd love to see this on a reader!
