I downloaded the grayscale test HTML and ran it through BD and then uploaded it to my Cybook. It looks to me as if the 16 levels are 'dithered' in, but I cant' tell for sure as the square of bars displayes at about 1" wide. So I may be seeing true 16-level grayscale or 4-level that's been 'smart-dithered'. I believe I read somewhere that the Cybook uses a 'smart-dither' process. If so, it's pretty darned good.

As for the text mods - bold, italic, super/subscript, etc... the four basic ones, sub/superscript, underline, bold and italic show up. But nix on special strikouts, quotation, citation and variable definition font changes within the text. Also, I'm not seeing grayscale backgrounds for the letter groups across and down the side of the grayscale square.

You have to understand that - at least with the current version of firmware, 0.91 - when you select one of the seven font families, *ALL* text within the book displays in that font. Now the vast majority of the text will be in the selected size, but some of it will increase or shrink a bit depending if it's been marked as a 'heading' or such.
