Why is it that so many people on this board would find the notion ridiculous in any other field, but still fancy themselves insightful experts in how publishers should make books? Is there a reason beyond the "Gee-golly-gosh, everything is relative/everyone is different!" mantra?

You appear to be misreading me. I am not trying to dictate how books, or eBooks, are made. The initial post was entirely about images within eBooks. I used kerning as an example of something that I wasn't even aware existed, and had no impact on how I've viewed books my entire life. If you like them, then consume them. I won't.
Let me state this again, if a product (in this case an eBook) does not have the features that are important to you (like kerning or full justification, or whatever) DO NOT BUY IT. Like so many of you culture warriors, I was merely expressing my frustration with what I view as a useless feature, images in books.
Am I not allowed to do that because I hold an opposing view?
