I have a Jetbook mini.
It has a 640x480odd pixel 5" screen, and though the text is a bit more grainy, never ever was the resolution an issue with me.
Screen estate on the other hand, yes!
The only ereader I have had, which I could 'comfortably' (size wise; it wasn't the lightest of ebook devices out there) read books on was the Jetbook Color.
It's 9.7" screen was rather large for books, and weight was more of an industrial tablet, than an ebook reader.
They could have shaved off a few inches off the device if they wanted to.
However, for the comic book reader it was advertized as (a PDF reader), it was awfully small; and lacked both resolution and screen estate!
Despite the high pixel count, text on comic books was still hard to read.
For comic books, an 11-13" reader would be the sweet spot.
For text ebooks, 150DPI is about as low as I would go.
For comic books, 200DPI monochrome (grayscale), or 150DPI color (using RGB, meaning 3 subpixels per pixel).
I would say, that for displaying most of my paper books correctly, I would need anywhere between a 7" to 9" device; 8" probably being the sweet spot.
