I'd probably never have read a single book the way you did.
I even never use Gutenberg because of the lack of layout. I barely use IMSLP (Gutenberg's counterpart for Classical / Public Domain sheet music), because most editions that are up there are not good enough, print quality-wise, and with regard to correctness.
If the layout and/or quality of an electronic book is too bad, it detracts from reading the content.
