without getting out a measuring tape, how much difference between printed & e-books is at issue here ?
I've been in book production as a compositor for 40 years, I think I know what "nice Looking" looks like.

Without getting into semantics. It all depends on what you find acceptable, whether it's spelling, grammar or visual presentation. Some books, in my humble opinion, are visually pleasing which makes the reading of them that much more enjoyable.

"Luddite!" I hear you cry. Well maybe so, but how far does this dumbing down go? Who among you would accept books written like text messages. Not many I suspect.
