Why is no one making higher dpi ebook readers? I've been waiting decades now for an ebook that would actually have the resolution of printed 600 dpi pages. The chunky text simply makes ebooks for me uncomfortable and unpalatable for long reads.

Probably because it's enough for most people. I have a Paperwhite with (I think) 300 dpi and unless I reduce the font size to the minimum and look really close I can't see any issues at any reading distance. It feels like a printed book to me.
