I edit ePub with Sigil to add drop caps, for example. They look fine in Sigil, they look fine in Calibre viewer, they look fine in Kindle (converted to azw3 by Calibre). In Kobo however I have to convert to kepub to see it the same as in the other viewers. Kobo ignores some css codes when displaying epub. For example these:
Code:
.sc { font-variant:small-caps; text-shadow:.5px .5px 1px #808080; } .pDropCap { text-indent:0; } /* Use: <p class="pDropCap"> */ .pDropCap:first-letter { float:left; font-size:2.98em; margin:-.216em .1em -.3em 0; /*float:left; font-size:4.64em; margin:-.254em .08em -.35em 0;*/ text-shadow:1.5px 1.5px 4px #808080; } .pDropCap:first-line { font-variant:small-caps; text-shadow:.5px .5px 1px #808080; } Code:
h1:not([class]) ~ p:first-of-type:first-letter { float:left; font-size:2.98em; margin:-.216em .1em -.3em 0; text-shadow:1.5px 1.5px 4px #808080; } h1 ~ p:first-of-type:first-line { font-variant:small-caps; text-shadow:.5px .5px 1px #808080; } Code:
h2 { margin:2.8em 0 1.2em; font-size:.945em; font-weight:normal; text-transform:uppercase; } Code:
hr { /* Scene break: <hr/> */ width:0; margin:0; height:2.5em; border:none; background:none; } hr + p { text-indent:0; } hr.asteriskS { /* Scene break with ***: <hr class="asteriskS"/> */ width:100%; height:2.2em; text-align:center; padding-top:.5em; } hr.asteriskS:before { content:"\2217\2217\2217"; letter-spacing:.5em; font-size:1.5em; } |

The truth is, these kobo are disappointing and lacking.
I'm ready to go back to my old Paperwhite. Without any regret. |

I did stop using Kobo devices after I had to convert official epubs to be able to use them. What a waste of a device. |

That's why I patch mine. With patches, I like them much more than I ever did Kindles. Without patching I wouldn't want to read on them. But then I no longer want to read on Kindles either, which are also lacking and you can't even patch them like Kobos.
