It's a 13.1" screen and seems to be 16:9 aspect ratio.

For that to have a resolution of 170dpi, which is comparable to current eInk readers, it would have to be at least 1941x1091.

Unlikely.

LCD is a very mature technology will well-tuned manufacturing processes and you can't get a 13" LCD that's over 1440x900. It's larger than the top end of current eInk displays, but larger invariably translates into lower dpi resolution because size multiplies the difficulties in quality control. And in terms of the readability of text, it's the dpi that counts, not the total pixel count.
