I'm afraid you're in the minority with that preference.

I don't read paper books at all if I can avoid it, unless they are books with large color photographs. I dislike the feel and smell of paper, actually. Paper books are clumsy and uncomfortable. IMO, of course.

And my ebooks must look like books textwise, not like web articles. That means they must look like their paper counterparts, minus unchangeable fonts and line-height. Full justification, small indents, no spaces between paragraphs, except for section breaks. Proper TOC and chapter headings are a plus. I edit all my ebooks to insert those preferences in the css. Most Android apps tend to disregard css to a greater or lesser extent. That's not acceptable for me.
