On too many occassions, I've seen queries about how to customize epub rendering receive replies about opening up epubs, *manually* hardwiring the formatting, embedding fonts, etc. As if it were perfectly reasonable to expect consumers to be versed in website coding and do hours of work to fix defects in the file or the reader to be able to read an ebook. I just think that if epub is to be a solid publishing standard its ecosystem needs to be plug and play all the way through and not *expect* consumers to be technically proficient (even if, like you, they are). I've used Sigil once or twice, more or less under protest; it is a nice tool but it shouldn't need to be used that way. The standard and its supporting tools need to be better.
Just a matter of philosophy.
I am glad to see Sigil solved your problem painlessly (which is what matters) and you have a workaround until the graphics display option is enabled on Coolreader which, given the speed with which this port has matured, probably won't be long.
