AZImmortal, that seems quite possible.

I didn`t quite understand the zoom part... The point is that the edges of the text are blurry, which has nothing to do with zooming - zooming in should bring pixelization (as in previous Kindles), but here even before we zoom enough to see the actual pixelization (which should occur with bigger zoom, as the resolution is bigger on PW) we see that edges are not sharp, but smudgy. In other words, it heavily degrades what otherwise bigger resolution could actually show on the PW screen.
The fact that it is not (clearly) visible without zooming-in doesn`t mean that it doesn`t affect the users` reading experience - and it might introduce an extra eye-strain, causing that "dancing text" sensation, as
AZImmortal pointed out, or maybe even a head-ache for certain people, as the brain is doing some extra work to locate and process the exact font edges (a process we aren`t consciously aware of, but it happens behind the scene).
Of course that all this might be just one (extreme) end of it, but the point is that the font is not as crisp as it might have been with this higher resolution. But, can this make it worse for (long term) reading than the reading on the new Kindle 4 (black), with smaller resolution than PW, but more crisp fonts?
Not to get me wrong, if you are satisfied with your PW, that is the only thing that matters
I`m discussing here from more of a technical point of view, being interested in the current technology and possible improvements, not trying to convince anyone that his/her PW is bad.
