The MMPB is a bad idea. The main reason it was created was so that publishers could charge more for it. I know they claim that because it's bugger that they can use a larger font. But that's a load manure. It doesn't fit in bookshelves very well and it feels unnatural to hold. Plus the fact is that it just looks awful to read as well. It's just another way to get money from us. And given that eBooks are mostly based on the price of the current pBook edition, it's another way to cheat eBook readers out of more money.
