Don't tell me you are able to differentiate the pixels from 1 foot away from the device!
That'd mean you have eagle's eyes, not humans...
We are talking about the same resolution found on older computers with a 14" screen, only now condensed in a 6" screen!
I can not tell,but only guess that a dot (at the end of a line) exists out of about 10 black pixels (you can see very faintly under a magnifying glass it has a star shape).
I think the 166dpi resolution is pretty awesome!
Also, I think if you compare color print (paper) to the e-ink screens, you'll have to multiply the resolution of the ebook reader with 3x, in order to have the same resolution as the b&w e-ink. (which is slightly less than 500dpi)...

You know...that is an excellent point. It does indeed come down to the actual scale. The eink displays are small but like you point out it is like a 14" display at 800x600 shrunk down. I am willing to bet they cannot get them much smaller given the materials used now though I am sure they have tried.
I think a lot of us get caught trying to relate printed DPI to display DPI...it really does not work out the same. And like you mention anything 166dpi and above is going to be clean.
