[Firefly] Some questions/rants before selling it... :-(

I've got my Firefly via ereader.de for quite one month and i'm using it a lot.
As already said somewehere in this forum, I think Firefly is a
*very good* piece of hardware but it's very, very, VERY poor on software side.
I'd like to use it for *reading* epub ( quite a standard, you know?) but no good reading program in Firefly.

*The* question I ask to Booxtor ( and, I hope, to other onyx-guys if present) is:

Is so difficult to have *one* application that is capable to correctly render an epub?
For "correctly" i mean that it respect Css stylesheet, follow end-notes ( and retutn to text), follow external via internal browser (and wifi), could render images and their correct positioning and al tast can use dictionaries and Search-text in the book in reading.
Other goods is the possibility in customizing fonts and margins bypassing the css, if I want.

No other i think is needed to read an epub with satisfaction.
Is really so difficult to implement such a program?

I'm not a programmer but Firefly is not my first ereader and i'm an experienced digital reader; sony, onyx-boox, NST (both via android and internal reader) and others have satisfactory apps to read *standard* epubs. Why the hell can't we, 200_euros_Firefly_buyers, have only *one* program to read instead of *three* damned, buggy, inefficent programs that cannot read an epub and *eat* resources to developers with no results at all?

Is there an answer in march 2013?
