   > Other free ebooks don’t put much effort into professional-quality typography: they use "straight" quotes instead of “curly” quotes, they ignore details like em- and en-dashes, and they look more like early-90’s web pages instead of actual books.

      @clacke I wish more people used readable (straight) quotes instead of ugly (curly) quotes along with proper dashes.

         @lnxw48a1 I guess that depends a lot on the font used. I will say that it is super annoying when auto-curling and double-hyphen-to-ndash'ing messes up source code in blog posts.
