For presentation to non-technical people, you have to do something else.

I kept looking at it and thinking the Nook and the iRex looked so clear and were such a relief to the really fuzzy pics on the right. They don't display what you're describing.

For awhile I thought you had reversed the pics in each set.
I saw them yesterday in the article and was thoroughly confused by them.

LDBoblo's when clicked on and then clicked again to get the actual size is not fuzzy. It lacks dense ink in areas. I can see the spots in the background clearly.

What you say you can do with the new DX and what the macro pics show is
just worlds apart (as far as perception by the reader) as far as your audience will be able to tell (i'm one of them).

I have found, by the way, many photos of white DX's now that show print
that looks very faded, and that may be an answer to why some DX owners
were looking for font-replacements.

My DX1 may have been part of a better batch. Giving you the link to compare
with your older DX (can't remember if you have one available).

Those have to be clicked on to get the 800x600 ~ images.
