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.

There was a time when 800x600 was not poor. I remember when we liked it.
