I ordered the Paperwhite for the whiter screen (still can't figure out if it's only whiter because the light shines on it, or whether it is also whiter with the light turned off completely), but will definitely hold on to my trusty, little K4. I love it too much, and love the page turn buttons.

Are you talking about the Paperwhite? If so I read where the resolution is 212 ppi. You can also figure it out by calculating the number of pixels across the diagonal of the 6" screen then dividing that by 6 to get the ppi.
The new screen is 768 px wide by 1024 px tall, so to calculate the diagonal number of pixels:
Diagonal PX = SQROOT ((1024 x 1024) + (768 x 768)) = 1280 px
PPI = 1280 / 6 = 213.33
