I think we all understand that. Some of us aren't anal about it.

As long as it's a standard font (and not some weird one) and the paragraph breaks etc. are in the right places, I'm good to go.

I've never read anything on the Kindle where I was bothered by the layout, font etc. For novels--text is text. As long as it's a normal font and the paragraph breaks etc. are in the proper places. So on that front, current e-readers are fine for me as long as the book in question is edited properly.

Scholarly PDFs are another stories, but those will suck until we start getting color screen tablets with 8.5x11" or larger screens.
