I feel a bit of discrepancy with the above...

Agreed... mostly. Bookview should have some limited font settings, basically; serif, sans-serif and the embedded font(s) specified IN the CSS. No other fonts should be used. The whole purpose of Sigil is as an ePub editor, NOT an ePub reader. There are several ePub readers out there. ePubReader for firefox, ADE just to name two I have.
If anybody cares...
Why do I use Sigil? To fix up my paid for retail epubs... spelling mistakes, decrease the default margins to get the most of my Kobo's screen, fix the meta-tag for book title for books in a series so that the books in a series are displayed together and in order (particulary my Star Wars collection), remove book pages that I don't need/want/use such as the TOC, dedication, copyright, other book previews etc. Fix the cover to reflect the actual hard copy cover, I hate those crappy green covers use by ballantine books. I mostly work in CV but use BV alot as well to view changes I've made. A spell check in BV would be helpful at times but not essential.
What I would like fixed, at least I think it's not working. When renaming pages, using 0.4.2, Sigil seems to work just fine, the toc.ncx and content.opf files are updated accordingly however when removing pages the content.opf file is not updated and I have to manually go in and remove the file references.
Anyway just my 2 bits.
