I had a 480x320 device before I got 480x800 TP2, and while I was looking forward to the resolution bump, I didn't realize how much more pleasant the reading experience would be. I'm not even sure I entirely understand why it feels so much better, but it does.

I've read that font choice can have an effect on eye comfort in ereading, so maybe my ability to render fonts in such crisp detail is part of it.
