Screen DPI is calculated from the pixel dimensions and physical size of the screen. So in reflective mode, there are more pixels? Well, if a color pixel is really made up of at least three subpixels (red, green, and blue), then I suppose black-and-white mode can make use of those subpixels. But in all the Pixel Qi videos, I have never seen the screen resolution change when reflective mode is turned on. So unless we're talking about a reflective-only mode device, then I doubt we'll see this higher-resolution mode.
