I do not mind. If I want to admire the look, I take a paper book with leather cover and gold cut.
If I want to get to know the content, then again I don't care about the appearance - then the reader is a tool for conveying the content - and the better it does it for my needs, the more I use it.
I have devices from different manufacturers, but now I only use Chinese Androids

So it looks similar to a paper book layout as it's held in the readers hands, but nothing about that "look" helps with readability. It's a deterrent, not a help, and very visually unappealing and cluttered.

But I just look at the whole page four times and read it complete.
