Put me in the "hi-res is better res" camp.

I currently have a Dell Axim X51v which is 640x480. When using Haali Reader, the text simply has no corners, (unless intended, of course). The text is light years ahead of everything else I've used. Better than my Palm IIIx, my SL-5500 Zaurus, and my HieBook.

I'm currently watching ebay and thinking of just picking up an NEC LitePad as my next reader. I really want an eInk reader, but for just a bit more, I can have a reader that will display pretty much any text format, play any video clip, sound file, and is very portable. I know the battery life won't compare, but every choice has a compromise somewhere.
