Here's another one...I don't care what you do "typographically", as long as I can change it *on the reader*. For the most part, I can't be bothered to edit the books I read. (I will make an exception for a book I *really* want to read that has horrible formatting, but if it's a new author, or a book I've never heard of, I'll just return it)
When I say "change it on the reader", I mean that I *must* be able to (at the very least) change the font (both size and variant), line height, and margins. I would like to be able to set the justification and boldness level as well, but those aren't *as* important as the others.
Bottom line is, if you want to do fancy formatting, that's fine, as long as it doesn't break the reading options in the reader.
