Threadjack: all of this discussion about being able to set the font size, line height, etc. makes me wonder (again) why it is that some/many of us gnash our teeth when we start reading an ebook that has wonky settings for these things. I can't ever remember having this reaction with any printed book. Is it because printed books are typeset by people who automatically avoid the excesses that bother us? Or it something about us being able to fix an ebook? I suspect it's the former; for example, I've pointed out before that I've gone through a bunch of printed novels/fiction that I have and none of them ever use a sans serif typeface; sans serif is only used in technical, cookbooks, programming, how-to, etc. books.
