Yes, the reader should definitely have the final say. But giving them the initial say by automatically subverting the design of the book creator is overkill and actually deprives them of any superior design that the book might offer (no nice drop caps, no well formatted poetry, just to name a very few).

The vast majority of readers will never know that the "Publisher Defaults" button even exists and so will blame the publisher and not the NOOK for the ugliness of the books.

It's really awful, and I beg you to reconsider your position.

kind regards,
