I appreciate the need for some semblance of uniformity, but surely we can read A Tale of Two Cities on both a Kindle and on paper without any substantial sacrifice in understanding. It is merely the appearance that I wish to differentiate, not the ontology. In fact, thanks to your comment, I strengthened my conviction that the ontology needs to be foreground and center in all cases instead of the appearance(s), which receive substantial, and IMO excessive, attention.
