More over, if you ask a lot of people if they have w&o, LPB, hyphenation or just justified texts, (even having previously explained them what a justified text is), I fear the most common answer is going to be "are you somehow trying to insult me? 'Cos I don't like when people speak to me in Chinese..."

Nevertheless, the freak and techy guys like ourselves usually like the things working properly...
On the other hand if you had an ereader that was designed to optimise the high quality display of text (which would include all sorts of typographical things like hanging punctuation, w&o, ligatures) instead of just a normal ereader, would that be seen as a marketable advantage?

Higher resolution screens are one way ereaders are already doing this.
