  It's interesting that Charlie gets feedback saying "I don't care about formatting and design in ebooks!" - I've only started reading ebooks since I got an iPad and I can say that I do care about what they look like, particularly in factual books (I have some geology books) the handling of diagrams, footnotes and images is often terrible. Novels, at best, look shoddy.

    "It's interesting that Charlie gets feedback saying "I don't care about formatting and design in ebooks!"
