I will agree for some books, mainly those for which the publisher has skimped and not made the effort to get the formatting right, have an active TOC, etc. But

I will agree for some books, mainly those for which the publisher has skimped and not made the effort to get the formatting right, have an active TOC, etc. But in general I don't agree. I am a huge reader with a very large library. I still love my physical books but for most of my reading I made the switch to a Kindle years ago and have never looked back. The advantages in convenience of purchase and access greatly outweigh formatting issues, imo.
