Stylistic ligatures like ff, fi,ffi and so on just get stripped out in ADE 2.0, while they display fine on the non-ligature-aware Sony readers.
On a side note it's a wonder that Adobe is still afloat, what with the divisions working actively against each other, and that the feature designers obviously never actually use the software...
