I'm not taking about
forcing e-books into a p-book mold, only talking about taking what's good from paper and using that in e-books, too. Flexibility should be able to stretch to such basic things as no "rivers" and proper hyphenation and adjustment - as an example. With my background I'm sure it would be possible to adjust so. At the moment I live with it as it is, but I do expect no less from e-books in time than I get from p-books. Why should I conform to less? That is ludicrous.
