I am afraid, but it seems that this is not completely true, as you can also read in the thread of this forum here:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=115057

The :hover pseudo-class was a trial to add some dynamic content and, as it is part of the standard, I expected it to work wherever "hovering" means something (-> a desktop pc).

Then if you want to state that the problem is not of the format itself but in the way ADE (or the e-reader) renders the code, that is true, but it makes no difference if one wants to produce an epub that is not "device dependant".
