I wish to review the first ePUB collection of poetry published in Denmark by a real establishment poet. And there are several things to critisize, which is not the poet's text.

Can I assume..., IF there is an iTunes plist in the ePUB, but no real metadata showing up in Sigil, that the focus for the producer and/or publisher was on iPad/pod/Touch and not really on any other e-reader device?

What could I assume, when there is no front cover on this book? Besides it probably not just being a case of forgetfulness? IS is impossible to make it look good? Or do they assume it would get a cover, when it ends up in iTunes? (But even so, that cover is only visible on the bookshelf of iBooks - not when you leaf through the book).

Poetry with re-flowing lines and re-sizeable font is a catastrophy!

Is there a way to make an ePub NON-flowing - or would it have to be a pdf - assuming pdf-readers on reader devices don't all become flowing text...?
