Print books benefit from centuries of ‘best practices’, and these have now been turned into algorithms that make it easier and cheaper than ever to design and produce beautiful books. It’s pretty rare to find any that are so poorly typeset that one experiences any discomfort (self-published books excepted).
At least that’s what I remember — it has been years since I’ve read one. If I HAD to read one, it would be uncomfortable, but for other reasons.
My complaints about ebook typography in no way have me nostalgic for print books. It is ‘better than ever’, but it just seems obvious that there is room for improvement.
