No matter what I told the nook the font stayed unchanged. The other the formatting was all over the damn place. Large words on this sentence, small on another. I realize that is a publishing issue, but still. If EPUB is going to be a standard I hope they make it so the user is not stripped of control.

I have purchased multiple ebooks (epub) from both Borders and B&N and after conversion, have not noticed any of the issues you mention above. Then again, perhaps I'm not as critical in that area. I have noted some issues with some freebies I got from Amazon... notably Sherlock Holmes having some funky characters in some of the words. But it was easy enough to figure out as I read along. That's the only inconsistency I can recall seeing.. and that was a mobi book.
