For standard you must have interpreted "what had been around", I intended the current availability for the market, which only includes:
- ED060KC1: 1072 x 1448 , 300 ppi, 150$
- ED060KG1: 1072 x 1448 , 300 ppi, ???$, frontlight
- ED060XH7: 1024 x 758 , 212 ppi, 150$
So I called 300 ppi the standard for 6" E-Ink displays - in spite of the availability of a lesser unit, which does not seem to cost less, at least in the park of modules for direct sale, so one could wonder if the product is part of standard production or of availability waiting for obsolescence.

Computer screens are kept at an arm's length, hard-copies at half of that...
I do not know about the typical folk of the most, but I can tell a 150 ppi resolution if I see it.
With lower resolutions, small text becomes difficult to impossible to read: lower resolution does reduce in fact, not just in abstract numbers, the amount of usable information on the screen.
