Wait, does liking books gives us the right to have an opinion on how we want them to look?
Or should we leave this to "typography experts"?
I suddenly feel guilty for my ignorance.
And I do think that pdfs are perfect on my computer but want anything else but pdf on my handheld device.
Am I as a consumer-reader on the topic though I have not the slightest idea about typography technicalities?
Well, my ignorant's 2 cents guess is that in 2 years from now pdf will be an exception on mobile reading devices.
Just because there are hords of ignorants like me who very subjectively find that pdfs are not satisfactory on a small screen.
