My daughter got a Kindle Basic a couple of years ago as a present from my wife and I. Mysteriously it wasn't 167 dpi. I'd need to photograph side by side with the PW3 (and someone in the family might have a PW2?) to decide if it is 212 or 300. I did write down and post the model of it. Maybe Amazon ran out of screens that time and it's really a PW with the lighting disabled or missing?
The 800 x 600 is OK on a 4.3" or 5" screen, but certainly it's noticeably poorer for text on 6" than any 212 dpi on anything. You can't do the subpixel addressing and anti-aliasing tricks that are possible with LCD and OLED. Even antialiasing is limited on eInk as it struggles even to do 14 shades as well as black and white.
