Then again it's not marketed as a ereader.

Hopefully the Mirasol devices will have about double. I've read somewhere that the proof of concept thingy had 220 dpi.
Are you asking for more resolution or a larger screen? 1024x600 is the same resolution of the latest Sony Daily Edition reader with a 7" screen. The Mirasol has a 1024x768 resolution in a tiny 5 inch screen. Your profile says you have an iliad, which means it's at the same resolution as the Mirasol but with a larger 8" screen.

For the sake of portability, I would prefer at most a 8" screen but wish the resolution is much much higher, which is needed to view fixed-resolution images (comics, manga). It would really be something to have an 8" Mirasol display with a resolution like 1600x1200 (250dpi).
