With some development, I'm guessing it can be comparable...and on a PC, it's possible to ditch font smoothing for languages that are a little more complex and don't respond well to blurring (like Chinese, any standard weight font for book use looks absolutely terrible on e-ink largely because of this).
Plus, you get the responsiveness back. That'd be worth it to many people (like almost anyone who buys a Jetbook, for instance)
