For Proust, this would mean, adding a page break in the middle of the text where there should be none. That's why, although I've decided to use multiple flows, I'm not ADDING page breaks simply for DE yet. Those same files work with Stanza and FBReader.

Left and right margins can be specified in the file, I don't see how this is connected to either ePub or DE.

The size of the small font is a decision from Adobe/Sony.

My comments were simply on the reading experience in relation to these two systems. Yes, I misnamed the format with reading system.

Nevertheless, I am comparing the reading experience of these two and what they are capable of doing, and regarding my personal preferences for these two reading experiences.

It seems to me that if ePub must be compromized to enjoy the reading experience, then the reading experience -- overall - is compromized. How's that for a tautology!
