I really doubt if it will detract from the reading experience much, just more lines before you have to change the page and probably better integration of text and images due to more room on the page for text to coexist with full width images. Landscape mode could provide multicolumn as Sony does.
However, clearly the big deal will likely be multimedia, images, video, music audio, eBook reading. It all depends on how well the software works.

I just took a paper book (happened to be a Daw Pocket) and the ration is pretty near 16/9. It was 1.65 so it is approximately 16/9.7 so 16/9 seems to be very book like.
