Wolfie, I love ya, but you GOTTA realize that opinions are exactly like what everyone SAYS they are. Everybody has one. And what YOU like in ebooks, or don't, is different than what Jane Doe likes, or Sally Jones. You can't try to force everyone into your way of thinking.

And that is why e-readers (devices) are continually evolving into rendering machines, so to speak--letting the reader decide for him/herself.

That's my $.02.

But what I am saying is not a personal preference. I bet you'd agree that a lot of publishers make some pretty big mistakes with eBooks in terms of formatting and code under the hood. But even when the code is not really that bad, the formatting is.

It does seem that they take their document setup for print and just use it as is for the eBook and given the way the two mediums work, that doesn't always work well.
