I'm sure iBooks 2.0, Kindle for iPad 2.0 (or 3.0 or 4.0) will get around to improving the typography. In the mean time, I'll be enjoying reading with what we already have.

I agree with you - and I think by far most would agree, too. Just beacuse you could be termed "typography enthusiast" doesn't mean you can't live with it as it is right now on curent devices. I certanly can - but I hope for something better. It can be done on paper, why not on a computer? One thing is to like or accept current state of affairs, another is to work towards a better place.
I don't think you should dismiss "typography enthusiasts" wholesale - or at all - most, by far, would agree at least mostly with you, I think.
I certainly enjoy reading e-books in many forms - and prefer it. But it doesn't stop me from wanting them to improve when I know the can be so.
