In most cases, it was because a) the standards used by the browser developer were not standard, or b) the website developer only developed it for one browser.
As a prime example in regards to the KT; a sideloaded book downloaded directly from kobobooks will work flawlessly in the KT in terms of formating. However, If I buy the same book from Amazon, de-drm it, run it through Caliber to convert it to epub, Formating options will be flakey, if not non-functional; I know, I've done it. Now, is this Kobo's problem because they can't render something that I've done outside the norm? Personally, I don't believe so.
again, just my opinion  |
Care to elaborate on why they can't get endnotes to work on sideloaded ePubs? Again, I take the same content and put it on other devices and it works. What's the purpose of having Kobo formatted books and regular DRM ePubs. Why not just have regular DRM ePubs from day one. Kobo books work and regular Adobe DRM stuff doesn't? The NOOK has no problem with books that aren't purchased from B&N. The Kobo bookstore is significantly lacking. It's not like they're Amazon where you can get anything you want. With Kobo you have no choice but to shop elsewhere for content.
