Just wait 'til you start checking your epubs in different Android reader apps! Anyway, checking in ADE is probably the best first step, if it renders well there, it's got a good chance to render OK on Sony & Nook e-ink, and will do pretty well in Android apps that support ADE.

Checking on a device is also highly recommended, just this past weekend I had an epub that worked fine in ADE, and barfed on my Sony T1. Turned out I had managed to duplicate a couple of IDs on links. I was about to tear my hair out over that one before I tracked it down.

When you get into other reader apps, like Moon+, FBReader, Coolreader and the like, expect most of your hard won styling to be less appealing than you would wish. Those apps allow the reader to customize a lot of stuff. The key is that your ebook should remain readable, even if not as you envisioned it looking.

I'm sort of a control freak, but I've learned that you have to give a lot of that up with ebooks. There's no one reading system, people have lots of choices between devices and apps.
