"The displays are 1.3-inch, e-ink displays with 256×256 per-eye resolution"

I'm really having trouble visualizing this, wouldn't the resolution on this be...really really bad? Like "word at a time" bad?

Oculus Quest 1 had a resolution of 1440 × 1600/eye.

Right, but aside from head tracking and asynchronous timewarp, one of the main innovations oculus brought to the table was the extremely high FOV of 106°.

If FOV at that resolution is a normal book, like 5-10° it's on par with like, a Kindle.

No, recent kindles are 300 ppi and have screens a few inches across and several inches tall. Paperwhite 5 is 1236×1648

yeah but they're sooo much farther away from your eyes than the glasses will be...idk I'm not convinced but it tracks...I did some layouts in figma and it seemed you could fit about a paperwhite page. ugly text, but it works
