I wonder what the rationale was for choosing Elizabeth George? My wife tried one of her novels and was bored silly within one chapter.

I've noticed something similar as well. Sometimes I feel like my Kindle gets too much out of the way. Sometimes it just feels like you are staring at walls of text without context. I do like how print books tend to put the author and chapter title or book title at the top of opposing pages. Have any e-readers attempted to mimic this? I could have sworn that the Kobo software did something like this. Even so, I still do 90% of my reading digitally now.

Yeah, I thought their attempt to dismiss this observation was a bit disingenuous.
