Higher res means nothing to me as I usually have to use enlarged text;
The higher resolution also means that quality of the displayed text is better. I found that when I moved up in resolution I could choose smaller font (the size as displayed when the device where next to each other, not the number describing the font size) and it was still easier to read than the lower resolution screen.

I despise Calibre - it makes more messes than it helps with;
For conversions I use TE Book Converter, which is a civilized front end for the tools from Calibre - which makes no messes a'tall and works perfectly.
Which means you are advising people to tie their hands behind the back rather than use a tool that with a little thought is more likely to help than hinder.

What about a device whose internal SD card can be removed and replaced? It's not as simple, but if the purpose is to increase the overall storage, then it works.
