Yes. New generation of displays have greater contrast ratio and way faster page change speed. 300 dpi e-ink displays at least one generation newer than 212 dpi screens I've used before and they visibly improve speed, contrast and readability.
The screen (Kobo Glo HD) I'm using is probably one generation behind of current screens. It's on par with paperwhite 2 or 3 IIRC.
I can just zone-out and read for hours without noticing any lag, distracting refreshes (my Kobo does full/reversing refresh every 5 or so changes), and I prefer to any screen I've experienced until now, which were not low end, low-dpi screens of any kind.
Moreover, I'm very rarely buying paper books now. If I can find the title electronically, I just purchase it from the Kobo store.
