lol!

But seriously... Steve Jobs has a love for many things, technology, usability, aesthetics on devices. But his chief love and something he got into at an early age was typography. I kid you not, he is actually a typography geek. At college he used to sneak into Typography classes and learn about fonts. Everything he does at Apple he checks the typography, readability, layout. This makes me think that many of the interesting layout options in the article may make it into the iPad.

My only concern is, if Jobs tries to extend epub so it has additional layout features, how will it interfere with using the files on other platforms.
