Typography

Yeah, I've already seen the trolls above dissing typography. I don't care.

I do own an ebook reader (Hanlin V5), as well as reading on a PC (FBReader and Calibre), and I'm hugely disappointed in the quality of their typesetting. I know, it's considered a quirk now, but I do care about how the text looks.

This is extremely annoying to me, as 1982-era computers (when one MIPS was "wow") could already run the TeX formatting algorithms--and these produce vastly better results than the crappy text we see now.
