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.

I don't find the size of my JE100 (which has a resolution of 800x480) not distracting at all. I actually find it very good to read. As you said, you've more lines per page. Length generally isn't a problem, width is. Too wide doesn't read too well (like reading on a wide-screen laptop monitor).
