Right, and you are the guy of the future, where the lowest common denominator rules. Reminds me of how DOS nerds talked about GUI.
If you are happy with mass market paperbacks, fine. But stop saying that hard-cover books are not books. PDFs, I mean....
Once the affordable hardware comes, some people will demand some better looking content, too. Fixed layout pages may not be everyone's cup of tea, but neither are designer clothes.
To each their own.
