Raw resolution means nothing by itself on these readers.
The 6" and larger readers all use the same DPI, so you can make a fair comparison by resolution. These new 5" readers have the same resolution as the 6" readers though, just crammed into a smaller space with a higher DPI. The side-effect is that while you get sharper fonts, you aren't getting the same amount of readable space, small fonts are just as hard to read.
But the main difference between screen sizes on the 900 and the iRex 800 is that the iRex screen is wider, while they are both the same height. And it's a bit of a toss-up which is actually a better size. The Sony has a nice width to it for raw text, but the iRex's width helps a bit more with PDF and comics.
