Scott, Its not about processor power, its all about the layout area, people like their books to look nice, to be presented as they desired them to look.
There's just no way that a lot of books look right, or certainly how the author intended, when displayed on a 3.5in / 4in screen. so the issue is not technological, its pure and simple realostaste.
