They work in DE, although DE is kinda slow if your .xml file is too big. Haven't tried yet with FBReader but FBReader currently lacks both TOC and CSS support which is quite limiting.
We're correcting a few things and we'll add this output on the website for beta testing (I guess today or tomorrow).
Keep in mind that this is pure beta testing for the moment, if you find any problem with the files, we'll correct them.
PS: Just tried OpenBerg and found a small bug in our file. Corrected the whole thing manually and now it opens perfectly in OpenBerg.

I just tried The Gambler (I don't know where OpenBerg is). I looked at it in digital editions and I converted it to my eb1150 as a test. Do you mind if I finish the conversion to eb1150 and then post it at mobileread? Here are some comments.
1. The digital editions is really slow to bring up the document.
2. I was surprise the zip container had no compression. Was this done to try and increase speed? Normally you should be able to publish with the .epub extension with full zip compression.
3. The file extensions were xml instead of xhtml. Is there a reason for this? It might slow down the processing but I am not sure.
4. The note.xml file was included but I do not think it was referenced anywhere.
5. The final feedbooks page has a very light graphic. Did this come across ok in the readers you are targeting? It looked too light when converted to 16 level gray scale on my device. I had to darken it a bit.
6. The TOC did not come across to my eb1150 version but I can regenerate it manually. It is probably a limit in my system. It worked ok in digital editions.
7. There are a lot of " marks with space on both sides in the document. This is one of the nits that I hate. I corrected it in my copy of the xml file and can send it to you if you wish.
8. Are you planning to fix the quotes to curly quotes?
9. There are some characters in the file that my reader did not recognize but that may just be my reader.
I hope this helps.
