I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. It's very difficult for me to follow textbooks that have 200 different colors and 5 sidebars per page.

You would probably like law textbooks. They are just prose, mostly with in-line citations rather than footnotes. No colored sections and only only a rare sidebar. They make reading, serious 100+ page each sitting reading, much easier. There is only one voice to follow and your eyes never need to bounce around the page.
Yes! I would absolutely love that. No guesswork as to what train of thought to follow. All textbooks should be like that.
