Thanks for that. It seems that addressed FB2 input, which may ensure a good solution to the iPad problem of converting from FB2 to ePub for Stanza and/or iBooks.
I notice also that Aug/Sep updates saw improvements in FB2 output, which was my main issue with using Calibre to creat my FB2s - they always had errors, or failed, or didn't read on my eInk devices. As I had a good production process already, I didn't bother persisting with Calibre since early 2010. But perhaps it's time to give it another go and see how it handles FB2 creation as well as input/conversion for the iPad.
Thanks again for the info!
And BTW, I'm quite impressed with readMe - I plan to do a proper review of a few readers for iPad, but I like that one for FB2 - handles the styles and formatting exceptionally well. The only gripe I have, as for iBooks, is font choices - they suck!
Georgia is about the best option, but in readMe italics text tends to 'bunch up' to the plain text immediately following in some cases (depends on letters). I hope this gets addressed, as well as adding some better fonts, like Fontin for example!
