I frequently wonder about what sort of world we're creating here, where every wanker thinks that every single experience has to be hand-tailored for them. Instead of just taking a damn book and READING IT, which is the intended use.

We want reading matter to be readable. This was discussed at length in the beginning of this thread. People who design for tablets/computer screens often don't realise that the same fonts on eink can be completely unreadable. That's not (generally) an issue with people designing for print.
Having said that, I did once borrow a paper book that I returned straight away to the library after opening it. It happens.
