Diverging Digital Roads: Poetry and E-books.
“... poetry publishers do have one issue that most publishers don’t in terms of e-books: those pesky line breaks, the things that happen to make poems what they are. It turns out it’s pretty hard to preserve line breaks in EPub and other e-book file formats: one of the ways reflowable text adapts to readers’ preferences in terms of font size and reading device is to wrap lines on the screen differently depending on those preferences.” Line breaks and justification are dreadful in Kindle and Nook, better in texts from the Apple store, IMHO.
