I am wary over eBook cookbooks, simply because some of the design/proofing work on some I sampled was so shoddy.

While my e-reader had font sets that handled common measures just fine—1/2, 1/4—the book had some measures for things that just weren't handled by the font sets. Referring to print copy of the book, it was odd ones like 3/8 and 5/8 (usually tsp) that proved to be the issue.

Since then, I am wary and always sample. It's usually why I'll rely on a print copy or an online recipe site over an ebook in these cases.
