You see, here lies the foundation of the problems. "The books" are not simple things. Maybe "most" fiction books are. But many books aren't. You need to allow a possibility to handle that. And if you have that, horrible books would still be made. You seem to have the assumption, that your format somehow prevents bad books. I very much doubt that. What you describe is simply good layout. And some people do this, some don't. You won't change that with a different format.

And I am speechless that your "multiple" readers are all the same, just on different platforms...
