The ppi craze is pretty silly.

First Nexus 7 tablet 212 ppi. Got one for my husband. I tried to use it, could not. Yellow haloes around all text.

Second Nexus 7 tablet (2013) 300 dpi. No more haloes, I had my first tablet! I had tried looking at so many lower dpi tablets, at a Best Buy. NONE of them were usable for me.

PPI is not silly if it makes a difference in what you can use. True, I wouldn't need it so badly on e-ink, no yellow haloes around text there, but my eyes are more comfortable with it than without. I'm near-sighted.

And I have my iPad Air less than 35cm from my eyes right now. Different needs for different folks.
