I have been spoiled by the high quality of the e-ink display on my Sony Reader and I wondered how well the new Palm pré screen would compare. Using data from the MobileRead Wiki for the Sony and the Palm site for the pré, the Sony is a 150 mm (6") screen of 90 mm by 120 mm with 600 x 800 pixels or 480,000 pixels over 10,800 mmsq for 44.44 pixels/mmsq. The pré is an 80 mm (3.1") screen of 50 mm by 62.5 mm with 320 x 480 pixels or 153,600 pixels over 3,125 mmsq for 19.15 pixels/mmsq. This will be a very easy to read screen.
