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."
Why would you use apps that don't work for displaying your eBook? Once you know it doesn't work, delete it, try another. When you find one that works, stick with it. Bluefire works. Stick with it. Don't bother with the broken apps.
