Typography takes it right in the groin with current e-readers ... just as it did when "desktop publishing" demolished generations of work of type artisans. But as technology improved, so did typography return as a craft and art. The same thing will happen with e-readers. I, for one, am willing to be patient. Right now, the word is the content I am interested in, not the form it is presented in. Function is the watchword for the time being.
