3d displays tend to sacrifice half the resolution (usually in the time domain, but alternately horizontally) to achieve their 3d effect.
It may be that they've gone with a very high resolution LCD matrix that can do something like 300dpi in 2D mode.
Sounds more like a gimmick as far as reading goes but...

Maybe they can wow us...
Been a while since the last "true wow!" gadget.
