Sharp-sighted people see up to 30 arcseconds - need twice the distance.
The individual reading distance is the one you strive to see the unpixelated text as comfortably as possible.
And the unpixelated text can be seen at 7.8/10.3 of the 10.3 reading distance - the fact that one has to squint more for this is unquestionable and also makes it more uncomfortable.

I guess my eyes must be really bad, then. I can't see pixels, even on my Kindle 3, no matter how far away I am. The only way I've ever been able to see the pixelation on any Kindle is if someone takes a pictures and zooms in very close. For me, it's not pixelation that's the problem, it's lack of contrast. and thickness of the fonts.
