One thing I just noticed, it may just have been a typo on your part posting it here, but shouldn't the code actually be:

Code:

.italic {
    font-style: italic;
    }

I.E. you were missing the ending semi-colon. It might be worth a check to see if that was the problem, rather than a Kobo bug. I'm sort of a newbie to all this CSS stuff, but things go weird fast on me if I forget one of those semi-colons!

Edit: Oh, I use very simple code in my epubs and I have been just fine using <em></em> for italicized words. Works in ADE, works on Nook, works on Sony.
