Paper is a vastly different medium compared to computers. The ignorance large companies(digital book distributors) show when dealing with humans(by only focusing on ebook sales and nothing more) is really annoying. Take Adobe Reader for example, it is really awkward in how dozens of researchers are unable to grasp the most basic feature of computers: dynamism. These people's minds are still stuck in Gutenburg era and they fail to notice how powerful computers are. Having had headaches with pdfs(I read lots of books) and the way knowledge is buried in this format, I started a project to inject some dynamism into our book reading.
