Ay, there's the rub, IMO what works well on paper - "blah blah blah . . .! More blah blah." - doesn't always work so well on digital media, especially if it spans two lines as in:

blah blah blah . .
.! More blah blah

On paper I prefer single curly quotes for dialogue, on digital I prefer double curly quotes.

Maybe ebooks could be user configurable
