To mr Ahi and some others who bought into his rhetorics.
The question of the thread is not Typography vs. plain text.
Good typography is good. Why would anybody say no to a better looking book? If it came with no strings attached.
What many people on this thread are trying to say is when typography overrules the major attraction of portable/mobile universal format, that can be read on any device (from iPhone to 24" computer screen), then we don't want it with it's limitations.
And that's what a pdf is.
So please abandon the posturing of an elite connosier and all insinuations, that people don't know what they want from books. That's just ridiculous.

P.S There is no reason to invent straw man of death of bookmaking or abandoning decentrly formatted book. That's not what this thread is about and nobody but Ahi saying that. This thread is quite simple is about can an old aniquated pdf be a fit for a new media i.e e-book reading devices or not.
