The current generation of Kindle Paperwhite has approx 1024x768 resolution. Let's say the next generation ereader from Amazon has 1600x1200 resolution, same screen size. Consider you have an ebook with a picture, 1024x768 resolution. The picture would look better with the current generation than the next generation since with the next generation, the picture needs to be blown up from its native resolution of 1024x768 to 1600x1200. It wouldn't look pretty.
Agreed.
