? I'd love to see an example of a modern ebook from a major publisher where there is a typo present that isn't in the printed copy. Now, as far as typography goes, I'll grant that in general ebooks are inferior to the printed page. Then again, when I read the latest Grisham that isn't the most important point. Having it in an easy-to-read, legible format with a good font is important. And that is something I can get from ePub.
