But you're only qualified to make that determination for
yourself. You declaring it "sub par" does not actually make it so. Nor does it mean others who don't agree with you value cheapness more than quality. It only means your definition of quality is different than others, not better. Favoring the quality of the content over the presentation of the content is not a flaw. In fact I believe it might often be an
advantage. "Can't see the forest for the trees" comes to mind. Regardless ... typography sensitivity is obviously a hit or miss phenomenon among readers--avid or otherwise.
EDIT: I'm not talking about hideous incompetence when creating an ebook, by the way. I'm talking about people letting things like font-choices, or indent-sizes, hyphenation/justification choices trip them up. I simply can't relate. Clearly delineated paragraphs and a minimum of syntactical and/or spelling errors are all I require to give great ideas and memorable stories/characters safe passage to my brain.
