I'm not completely sure I'm right about this but I'm sure enough that I'd bet on the outcome if there was a way to prove it. Anyway, I suspect that a 300 dpi e-ink screen with a front light gives sharper text than most paper books.
Paper is a very uneven surface and as the ink soaks in it conforms to the shapes on the surface. I've been an amateur artist most of my life and that's something all artists consider when selecting paper. Very slick paper generally, not always, has fewer variations on the surface. Course paper has more and it's preferred by a lot of artists using brush, pencil and charcoal. The paper in a book is sometimes slick but that's the exception. Often it's fairly rough. I would say fairly rough was the norm.
So I would guess that my Voyage has much sharper text than most paper books.
