I see very little advantage and in fact numerous drawbacks of forcing ebooks into the paper book mold. As long as there is at least minimal formatting and flexibility, that's all I want. The more you force ebooks into the constraints of traditional printing the more you sacrifice flexibility. Surely with your background, you know that.
