I don’t know if it is necessary but the commenters suggested that it is contrast that needs to improve not the resolution. A guy in the comments argued you can’t really discern the difference in resolution from 300 ppi to 600 ppi as the human eye isn’t capable of seeing those details. Perhaps, but I have the iPhone XS Max and latest iPad Pro and it seems much of those displays are noticeably crisper than my 1st gen iPad Pro and iPhone 8 Plus.
What do you think?

Above 300-350 DPI and at reading distance, the average person can barely tell the difference. You may notice that the image gets sharper as the DPI goes up (especially if you have very high visual acuity), but for the purpose of reading or even images, it's unlikely that a density higher than the above can give you any more useful "information."
In simple words, you may tell the difference in sharpness, but it wouldn't really matter in reading. Bear in mind that the density of most print materials (like story books and newspaper) is below 300 DPI, but you can read them without any issues, can't you?
What I'm waiting to see is large (9" and above) e-readers with 300 DPI. I read professional PDF from scientific journals and books for my work, and most of them are in 2-columns and small font, so it would be nice to be able to have the entire page on the screen and be able to read it.
