Looks nice. And yes, 200dpi means a 5" screen. (5" diagonal means screen is 3" by 4". 600x800 screen at 3"x4" is 200dpi.)

But having broken the screen once (& got it repaired), I'm not buying a new eInk reader until the screens no longer have a glass substrate. They're just too fragile, although I suppose the 5" will be less susceptible to breaking than the 6", like the 6" is to the 9".
