What I meant was the UK novels don't have a separate individual handwriting font for each character signature, Dumbledore and Hagrid's notes to Harry, etc. They also don't have the stars around chapter headings and page numbers or any illustrations at all. My point was that since there already are English editions without all that extra formatting, it might not be something they'll need/want to try and accommodate in the ebooks, so the argument over which file formats can and can't properly replicate those effects might end up being irrelevant.
But for the people in the USA, it could be a deal as that's all they know. They don't know that the UK editions don't have the nice formatting and fonts. So I o think in order to do it right, they should do as nice a formatting job as they can and to me that means using the USA formatting with the UK text.
