Not sure why, but I feel compelled to respond to your posts! I don't believe that using a ebook device requires you to "lower expectations considerably". There are several advantages to ebooks over pbooks, which have been discussed ad nauseam here and elsewhere on the internet! And there are several advantages to pbooks over ebooks, too! What format you choose to purchase and consume your content in, depends on which of those advantages are most important to you. Expecting an ebook to be a perfect facsimile of the pbook seems to me to miss the point entirely. However, there is nothing wrong with expecting high-quality ebooks and I think we should all hold publishers and sellers feet to the fire on that front!
