How realistic is the idea that eBooks are supposed/going to accommodate every single person's utterly arbitrary individual preferences?
And how many of those that seemingly have this expectation refused to read paper books that never once gave a damn about them, prior becoming enchanted with eBook reading devices?
The revolution is here... and apparently everyone's going to be their own typesetter, while firmly declaring that they couldn't care less about typesetting.

So I'd be reluctant to publishing in a format that users could mess around with on their own. I want them to see it the way I intend, or not bother reading it at all. It's already enough of a pain hassling with journals etc. to get proofs changed to my liking.

Apparently eBooks will liberate people from dastardly folks like you and I!
