Some of the earlier eInk devices with lower resolution may have used anti-aliasing though it slowed down the display and would require a display capable of greyscaling. For later eInk screen, the 300 DPI screen keeps the jaggies small enough that anti-aliasing would not be useful.

Takes me back a lot of years. The first discussion on anti-aliasing and eInk I remember on MobileRead was from before I joined and was just browsing the site.
