Thing which detract from reading in most e-book formats:
- no real italics
- no nice ligatures / text hyphenation / justification
- orphans
- widows
- overall poor spacing and line breaking
- low resolution / anti-aliasing results in blurry text not as sharp as imagesetter output (at least 1,200 dpi, often much higher)
- overall smaller image area
- slow page turns
The test would be much more interesting if one created a printed book w/ the exact same image size / area / proportions as an ebook reader and then compared reading that w/ the .pdf used to prepare the printed book on an ebook reader (w/ a much larger sample size).
