We were bored then.

Seriously though, an average paper book is formatted much better than many ebooks. Generally I didn't see spaces between paragraphs, huge margins, line-spacing or indents in paper books, the way I often see them in ebooks. And of course even when there was anything bothering me (tiny and/or faded fonts, for example), I had no way to change it, so I just had to put up with it or stop reading. I don't have to put up with it now. Freedom of choice spoils people, as is well known.
