I checked other because of something important left off ot the poll.

When people mention readers and what features they want, something usually gets left out. What we really need is proper typography. That means kerning support and hyphenation support. No ADE implementation has proper typography. So when you have full justification, you can easily have lines with large spaces between words or in the case of left justification, you get short lines. Also, with kerning support, words will just look better if the font being used has kerning i nformation built-in.

So please, don't ignore typography for other less useful features. We need typography more then we need FB2. Until we get proper typography, we will not have eBooks math the look/feel of paper books no matter how good ink becomes.
