@paola The issue with the dictionnary happened with a kobofied sideloaded ebook. But so far I can't replicate it with an epub or a kepub. I should have highlighted the specific words

I don't see a right boundary cut off on either device On the Glo the final word of the second definition, 'summer', is on page 2, but that's not what you meant is it? |

Frankly I find it hard to believe that a publisher cares primarily about how the title is displayed and on Kobo readers when there are so many ereaders out there dsiplaying books in different ways. Maybe they care about how margins, spacing, indents etc.are, but if they don't care about embedded custom faults, why would they care about the rest. More likely they care about selling books. And why would a publisher pick on Kobo and force them to display certain books with double or triple line spacing that can't be changed, when Sony or Kindle etc. are allowed to display them nicely? Just doesn't seem logical. Helen |

I think that the whole point of customization on an ereader is to meet the desires/needs of the reader. I'd greatly prefer that when I change settings Kobo use them to override the original document settings. Otherwise, what is the point of offering settings?

I think the best solution is to offer a text zoom. Look at a browser for example: you can set the default font size, but if a page has explicitly set the font size, default setting is ignored. If you want to change the font size, you can zoom the text.

As of 2.10.0, this is still mostly true. Boldface works, paragraphs work (but without a blank line between them, unless there's an actual linefeed between the end-paragraph and start-paragraph tags in the synopsis element), but italics (whether using EM or I) do not work. I have not tested bullet lists.
