The screen is sharp enough on original Elipsa and the 227 dpi is certainly far better than the 9.7″ Kindle DX(G) at 150 dpi, or the pre-2022 Kindle Basic models at about 167 dpi.
It's also better than the same dpi screen in the reMarkable (note the reMarkable 2 & Original can run same FW and the 2 is cost reduced with slippy glass surface for writing (though thinner), loss of the page turn and home buttons. Despite extra RAM and CPU speed (slight) both have a similar only about 6 G Flash storage vs 32G on Sage and Elipsa and optionally on Scribe).
Very often later models are actually cost reductions with a feature or two punted as an improvement.
Battery life seems fine on the Elipsa and three of us here with Sage (repeatedly castigated online for poor battery life) find the battery life on it fine, though not as good as either Libra models.
