It won't get any better - limitation of the resolution. You will either get used to it after a while, or you will need higher resolution. Depending what you used just before looking at the screen will make it more or less obvious. Spend a while reading on a high res screen, and the low res one will look even worse. Even the PW while looking better concerning smoothness of edges still looks very pixilated when comparing it side by side to higher res screens (300+ ppi). On the PW the smallest size fonts don't look ideal - sharting from about 3rd smallest it looks okay. From previews the Voyage is said to be nice and sharp looking even at smallest font size. Those 300ppi appear to corrolate across all screentypes (eink, lcd, oled) to be the good resolution to be called high - as in perfectly capable to display sharp tiny text.

That is not to say that there is no more improvement past 300 ppi - there is, but a lot less subtle. On eink there might not even be any improvement - the current eink is only rated to support up to 300ppi.
