It adjusts the auto-detected binarization threshold. The effect is making B/W content thicker or thinner.
Scan Tailor experimental doesn't output 96 DPI images. It's just what your software shows when DPI information is missing. Usually what you get is input DPI times the resolution enhancement factor.

If i have text-only book scans, how does this affect the look of the text? Will it make the text look more substantial or something?

It will make everything thicker then. Try it and you will see.
