A lot of us have been reading pBooks for a long time before moving to eBooks and I never read online that anyone wants a completely different formatting because they cannot read pBooks they way they are formatted.
I'm curious about this shift.

Oh, there's a big misunderstanding
I love paper books and enjoy my 20,000 library.
Ebooks can never be displayed like the corresponding typesetting of paper books.
Ebooks cannot change the font width, they only have to concentrate on the spaces, which is not the case with paper books.
I can read paper books fluently - if you try the same layout for ebooks, only word for word - the different space width in relation to the font width inhibits my reading flow.
And that's why I want a completely different layout as soon as I read electronically.
