Right now I'm doing a conversion for a book that uses extensive quotations and extensive references (all in italics). Without italics it would be extremely difficult to keep track of things... (i.e.: Is this the author writing.. or is he quoting....) Some of the quotes are very long so it would be easy to get confused.
I'm somewhat surprised that this isn't a bigger deal to authors and publishers. Over in another thread there are readers saying they would never use "this app" or 'that app" because it doesn't display italics correctly. Why don't publishers and authors feel the same way? I can see an un-knowing reader blaming the publisher for a "bad ebook."
