To be honest, you don't really notice the difference in the PPI of the H2O vs the PW5. The H2O is more clear because the H2O is IR and there is no touch layer sitting above the screen of the H2O. The PW5 would look better then it does if it was designed the same way as the Libra 2.
You forget that the PW5 has a newer Carta screen, with (supposedly) better contrast. This may negate any differences due to the top layer.

BTW, I've had an ereader with an IR screen - the Kindle Basic 2014. I was not impressed by the screen. It was neither particularly white nor particularly contrasty. So that's another myth that IR screens are always better than capacitive.
