Notice the parent said "real full-screen mode"
Just because a program window fills the screen does not mean you have a "real full-screen" of text.
I run at a 1600X1200 resolution. When I full screen a pdf file, I get about half the screen full of text and the rest is useless blank white space.
Also, I am not looking for the "art of book making" when I read on my computer. I am looking for the CONTENT of the book. Breaking the text into paragraphs, chapters, etc. is needed, but I do not want a pdf type printable page.
This may be why so many publishers are not getting request for ebooks. The folks that really want them realize that a publisher is more interested in "the art of book making" than in getting the content to them.
While I am typing, I have one more thing. If I am looking to read a book, or listen to music, I could care less what the cover of that book or cd has on it.
To put it plainly,
Many of us just want the content. The package is just extra fluff to be tossed like wrapping paper on a birthday gift.

Could you provide us with an example or two to support this claim?
Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Exodus 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
I am not the original poster but, will this example do?
