Well, God help me, but I just refuse to give up on this thing.

I downloaded the "Prince and the Pauper" ePub from this forum, and on the Nook Simple Touch and through the Adobe Digital Editions viewer, the em-dashes display, but they have a space on either side of them. They don't have the "stickiness" they normally do. However, on the Barnes & Noble Nook Desktop previewer, the em-dashes ARE sticky. They display as they should.

I downloaded a sample of 50 Shades of Grey to my Simple Touch. The em-dashes display properly. What does Random House, Inc. know about ePub formatting that the rest of us don't? Why can they have an em-dash display properly but hardly anyone else?

Where can the secret be found?

Thanks,

Greg
