It depends on the font.

For the fonts shipped with most eReaders, you are correct that it would be hard to tell the difference, because the fonts are designed for "easy reading" (e.g., large x-height, thick strokes, high contrast). If you use a font that is much more "delicate", the extra resolution is immediately apparent.
