Quite a bit more, because the effort will have gone into a format I can keep and use on multiple devices. Quit trying to control what I read on. "Common sizes" indeed - that's just another way of saying "Whatever a few powerful manufacturers like, screw the rest of you".

(And on tiny mobile screens, er yea...does anyone bother trying?)
I'd pay less for something that clearly has jack squat of effort and professionalism invested in it. Like paying art gallery prices in a kindergarten class.
