Assuming your PB360 works the same as mine, the FBReader application works by completely ignoring ALL CSS. Then it lets you add your preferences for font, size, margins etc.

I guess this may be OK for some books, however, if you have a nicely formatted ePub then FBReader can turn it into something little better than a glorified text file, no centre-, right-alignment, no scene-breaks, no dropcaps... the list is long. It can display epubs but I wouldn't call it an epub reader. The AdobeViewer application works much better. All this is purely my own opinion, of course.

I had been wondering whether the Nook worked in the same way as FBReader? But, as I'm in the UK, I'll probably never get to try one.
