Which gives it a resolution of 115dpi, no better than a run-of-the-mill LCD, and inadequate to the task of displaying arbitrary fonts properly at small sizes. An LCD running ClearType and using fonts that have been specifically and extensively tuned would look a lot better, so if you really need a large 13" display you'd be better-off getting an LCD-based tablet PC running Vista or Win7.
The whole point of eReaders is
to make text look good. Colour and video may be desirable, but if they cause the text quality to be sacrificed then they're useless.
I'm sure there are several applications that can justify designing a very low-power mid-res display that can do video, but they don't include eReaders.
