I have an epub file which, as far as I can read from the css file, should display paragraphs with a 1.5em indentation, and no empty line between paragraphs. This is what I intend. It is formatted thus in OpenOffice. Both Calibre and Sigil display it this way. So does Stanza, which is probably the crappiest program for displaying an epub file, and makes a mess of everything else.

Adobe DME displays it instead with an empty line between paragraphs and no indentation. For some reason B&N ereader program refuses to open it.

Of ereaders that I have had it tested on - not a large range yet - the Iriver displays it with a blank line and no indent. So does the Sony 950. The Aluratek Libre Pro displays it with indents and no blank line.

Does anyone know whether some ereaders are hard-coded to present paragraphs in this way, irrespective of the coding in the file?
Are the any /* comments in */ your style sheet?
any mis-spelled key words and ADE ignores the style completely. Like
font-wait: bold; will kill it, dead
Calibre and Sigil render all the other style attributes... Not ADE
