If anything, I find that vertical spacing in ebooks needs to be exaggerated (compared to pbooks) to be effective--in almost every case. I don't really care about "wasting" screen space. I've never run out of screen in all the time I've been reading ebooks.

My question is: why has ereading turned so many readers into armchair typography (and book formatting) experts?
Because that is the nature of man?
