Don't get me wrong, it's not unreadable by any means, and I find that reading SCIAM on the iPad to be quite acceptable without zooming at all. It would sure be nice if someone, anyone, would make a device for mimicking print that had a serious 300 dpi or so.
however, in return for the lower DPI, you get a higher contrast. white is really white, black is extreme black
