Question Do epubs from Kobo have screwy formatting?

I'm a prospective Kobo Glo buyer and did some research online. Seems like there are / were some issues with the way Kobo handles formatting of their books:

This was in January and the information seems to be conflicting. Looks like one party suggests that this was just a temporary glitch while another suggests this is a permanent direction.

Is this still an issue?

I would definitely want all the epubs I buy from Kobo to be compatible with other readers. I certainly *don't* want to be locked in to Kobo indefinitely because they intentionally screw up epub formatting for other devices. I might as well get a Kindle in that case.

Thanks
