It depends on what you mean by functional typography. The goal of silent typography is to maximize the readability. So if the readability is reduced by 20% compared with a paper book you will most likely not notice it if you do not know what to look for. Less readability will lead to slower reading speed since the amount of "reading" errors increases.
