That's just one opinion (unsuccessfully dressed up like a fact). Anybody who gets fussed over a successfully displayed single raised/dropped capital (letter or word) is just looking for things to get fussed over (and can probably easily un-fuss it themselves anyway). There's still a large contingent of readers (the human kind) who actually enjoy a little tasteful artistic expression where ebook layout is concerned. I welcome your "pouring-text-into-a-bucket" analogy with regard to flowing text and "pages," but don't at all welcome it when it gets used as an excuse to homogenize the formatting of all books into one archetypal formula. Blecch! Hope it never comes to pass.
