Not really, not by paper standards. Even low-quality paper is equivalent to about 1200dpi: on high-quality glossy, you might need to exceed 8000dpi before you stop being able to see changes in font shape because of the paper absorbing the ink.
Reality is *high-res*.
(In particular, the Computer Modern fonts still look bad on Kindles, with ascenders and descenders vanishing, because they are far too low-res. They were designed for 1200dpi phototypesetters.)
We could probably do with a doubling or quadrupling of resolution in each direction, easily -- but of course that increases power draw, screen cost, etc etc etc.
