You don't notice a typeface until you've started meddling with it. And then you're done with.
But seriously, I've got a number of ebooks that make me grateful for all the options my Kobo has. Why, I've got a few paper books that might use some customization. Some of them are set beautifully but I wish to God they used bigger font sizes. So that's one of the things that ebooks can, and should, do better than pbooks.
