Note that at 254 shades + white and black gives superior antialiasing and rendering of fonts than the SAME dpi at 14 shades + nearly white and black of eink. Even apart from colour. Also many OLED and LCD devices use subpixel addressing which roughly doubles the DPI in the horizontal direction, which is more important for most fonts.
So 120 dpi to 150 dpi on a good LCD or OLED can seem as sharp as 300 dpi on eink.
