Thanks for posting these photos! Please don't stop!
Under higher magnification, the text does not simply look fuzzy.

Here is what E-Ink looks like when viewed at slightly higher magnification, such as in a decent macro photo. Camera used was a cheap point and shoot I bought for a bit under $200 in 2007. Font was Minion Pro Medium, somewhere around 13-14pt on a PRS-505. Chose a bigger text size since the smaller text sizes look quite bad up-close.

Something more like this is what I was expecting when I read "macro".
