This is more complicated than it sounds. I have some components of my ebooks that are there purely for readers using a browser. E.g. navigation at the end of a chapter. In an ePub ereader, or a Kindle, these components are redundant, so I'd like to be able to hide them.

I can use CSS display:none; -- but then I'd need to use a different stylesheet for epub than for the web.

So I'm wondering if there's a CSS hack that can be used that would only be seen by a web browser, but be ignored by epub readers. Kind of like the hacks used to make older versions of IE work.

Anyone know of any usable hacks?
