What you are looking for should be possible with PDF ebooks, but of course not with epub. And publishers are naturally shy of using PDF, because it's so dependent on display size.

I don't know the details of the epub format, but I believe better quality can be achieved with a conjunction of better quality epub, and better quality epub rendering software.

But if you're so focused on the typographic qualities, maybe ebooks just aren't for you - just like, I guess, the paper books of most publishers are not for you.
