Seems to me that someone created the epub with the Kindle platform or iBooks/ePub3 in mind and decided to just let the ADE "chips" fall where they may (not that it rendered the ePub unreadable with ADE, by any means). Bold statement or just ignorance?

It was Robert McCammon's novella "I Travel By Night" if anyone's interested. The HTML was excitingly clean.
And I wonder if the thing remotely works on the NookColor HD, which seems to have a mind of its own, when it comes to fonts? I mean...utterly ignores embedded fonts at will, with/without "Publisher Defaults" (or whatever the language is) selected.

I'm not kidding, I'm starting to think that Albert has the right idea...do more with less, not more with more. I know my bookmakers won't like it, but... I don't mind the (ahem) premature grey, but I do object to the prematurely-dead-from-stress.
