Now, I don't have en e-reader (yet - I hope to change that), and I'm far from an expert on this, but isn't typography more than just type or font design, but also making sure a piece of text is readable, whether on paper or a screen? And isn't hyphenation, punctuation etc a part of typography? I can't imagine why someone would want to dismiss typography. As I understand it, it's goal is to create readable text without being too obvious about it. Kind of like special effects in movies - when they're good, you can't tell they're there, they're seamlessly integrated into a movie. When they're bad, they're obvious and not pleasant to watch.
