Do you work for Apple? That's the only explanation I can figure that would explain your apparent purposeful distaste of getting a device to do WHAT YOU WANT IT TO DO.
People have different levels of vision. Andalus font at this size makes it easy for me to read at arms length. I have no problem hitting the page turn key more often because it is literally about .1 seconds between refresh, fast enough to finish books like there is no tomorrow.
I find serifs more pleasing to the eye. And just as there are tone deaf people who don't understand why someone would want to listen to good music on an expensive stereo, there are people who can not differentiate between what is clearly in front of them.
I take the Apple thing back, because they are entirely based on
aesthetics ,to the point of robbing
functionality. You appear to be against
both.
Why not just spit in the face of professional publishers everywhere. People get paid to format books so that, when you buy a hardcover, it doesn't look like the garbage you see in many of the ebook files that circulate the internet. Part of that process is selecting a font, and IT MATTERS to some people. Just as you have your opinion about not caring what font you're reading, other people have their opinion of being annoyed by crap-tastic fonts, or worse; bad formatting. Arial and Verdana aren't bad, but
I prefer Andalus.
And go ahead and use the JBL to justify a text file... It is horrid. Compare it to the justification from the screen shot.
Just appreciate the fact the JBL actually offers functionality that people want (actually, Open Office does!), namely, the ability to define their own aesthetics. I'll never understand people like yourself with that 'closed source, my way or the highway' attitude.
While you're at it... Ask yourself why other fonts even exist. In your world, Arial would be plastered on every sign, every company logo, every web page, and children would be beaten if their handwriting did not conform exactly to Arial specifications. That is the essence of the argument I am getting from you.
