Do you regard all books as poorly desgined?
- mrob 5y agoYes (at least all the professionally published ones I've seen). This is a major reason why I prefer ebooks.
- extra88 5y agoMost books left-justify text.
- leephillips 5y agoHuh? I have about a thousand books in my house. Only a handful have left-justified text. Gutenberg’s Bible was set fully justified in the 15th century, and that has been the overwhelmingly predominate practice in printed books from then to now.
- rjh29 5y agoBooks are usually hand kerned to avoid large, variable width spaces that are hard to parse. Books have complete control over how the content is formatted and displayed.
