I hear your pain, Hitch; I had no idea things were in such a mess. I guess, though, I'm with seajewel, at least in a very simplistic sense. I'm just happy I can read books; I'm not too fussed about the niceties of layout even though I can well understand why authors and publishers might be. For me, the fact that so many books are available in ePub, and that so many readers (both devices, and apps for, e.g., smartphones) can cope with ePub even though the rendering of the text is sometimes a bit eccentric, has simplified life enormously.
