In doing some research last night, I downloaded a sample of Stranger in a Strange Land and compared it to an old physical copy that I have. Interestingly, once I fiddled with the font size and width a bit (on the Kindle PC app), it wasn't too far off. Hyphenation is an issue, but it's not too distracting. The font was actually clearer than my old paperback.

What kinda annoyed me is inconsistency with italics and such.

It'd be fine for novels for the most part, but as illustrated in the example posted before, captions and illustrations would suck. And what about footnotes?
