An 8.1 diagonal 3:4 aspect ratio screen of 768x1024 is at 158dpi. The 6" eInk screens are 167dpi. The 5" eInk screens are 200dpi.

For a new 8.1 screen I'd be hoping for at least 960x1280 resolution - 198 dpi.

(I think eInk ought to be working towards 300dpi - 900x1200 on a 5" screen, perhaps 1440x1920 on an 8.1".)
