Agree 100%. The biggest problem with ebook typography is that it doesn't automatically perform Hyphenation. Ligatures and other typographic enhancements would be nice, but to work you really need 300DPI or better screens.

Typography and good hyphenation make text so much more pleasant to read. Just compare a good TeX doc to something from Word.

For now, I'll settle for a good H&J, as this is possible with minimal processing power (at least for English).
