Original HTML was designed to present the information and allow the user to control the formatting of the data. Today that has changed a lot and now the author thinks they know better than the reader how things should look. Some pages even force you to set the page width to match their idea or you can't view the entire page. They even suppress scroll bars. The entire philosophy has changed since the beginning and not necessarily improved. However, having said that eBooks are different than Web pages so they should have different requirements.
