I always buy books in paperback wherever possible. Hardcover, for
me, is fluff. However, a librarian, among others, would surely
disagree with me. One man's fluff might be another's necessity.
People may prefer proportional fonts for aesthetical reason (which,
IMHO, is not a bad reason as some people here think), or maybe they
just happen to have smaller monitor.
More importantly, it's about attitude. I've always thought that we
will have a better chance winning people over through good
reasoning, not intimidation.
