I wouldn't think a 20% increase in resolution would make smaller fonts that much more comfortable, I think you'd still go with the smallest font size you normally can handle in print books.
All the more so since the nature of the eink matrix is unlike an lcd screen. That is an X ppi lcd screen is worse than an X ppi eink screen, and not just by virtue of the transmissive vs. reflective technology, but due to the eink capsules underneath.
But I do think it will make the text more well defined for sure at any specific size which is a great advantage. And that the increase in screen real estate is more than enough to notice a considerable difference. I always thought that 6.8" inches was what should have been the minimum for readers to come close with your average paperback.
