Thanks for the link. After looking at that, I'm fairly certain that what you describe as blurry or fuzzy letterforms is due to the non-regular arrangement of the e-ink elements (and yes, that Bookeen photo is pretty silly). As I've said before, I've noticed it, too, but only in very bright light (i.e., direct sunlight) situations. It isn't noticeable to me (unless I look really closely) in most of the places I read.
And like lionfish mentioned, I'd like to see how the 300's screen with its 200dpi pixel density looks. From DrMoze's first post, he mentioned that text is the same size on the 300 as on the 505, but there's less of it (contrary to how you'd think they'd handle a screen size reduction at the same resolution). It's a ~20% increase in pixel density, so it should make a slight, but noticeable, difference.
