igorsk suggested epub samples by Hindawi:

For some reason on pg. 3 (Section 2.1) the degree symbol causes really awful linespacing when reading this in Sony's ebook library (on the Mac) --- seems to be pervasive actually.

Similar problem on the following page caused by a superscript -1 --- actually, this seems to happen throughout.

The spacing of paragraph 2.3 is horrible

Two word stack on pg. 6 ``...range of | ...volume of''

Another stack on pg. 7 (Section 3) hIL-7 hIL-7....

Absolutely horrible break on pg. 8 --- ``3'' is allowed to break away to the next page from ``Figure''

Figure 4 caption is continued to the next page --- scaling the figures down, allowing the user to magnify them would arguably be a better solution.

Awful empty spaces before Figures --- they really should be allowed to ``Float'' in the text, w/ the text flowing in around them to fill in the empty spaces.

The H&J allows paragraphs to end w/ a single line quite frequently.... arguably a matter of style, but most paragraphs are long enough to allow re-breaking to prevent it.

Figure 7 actually allows the caption to appear on the page following subfigures 7a and 7b --- shrinking all 4 to a single page and allowing magnification would be my choice.

The page numbers appearing over the text along the right edge is quite distracting --- couldn't there be a slight margin to prevent that?

The .pdf is markedly better (though sized for letter / A4, so only suitable for viewing on a large screen), but it does have some infelicities (allowing the reference [7,8] to break on the first page...) --- given a choice, I'd d/l the .pdf to my Fujitsu Stylistic and read it there.
