To me that's completely irrelevant, since I have no desire to read ebooks on a desktop.
But as you've stated yourself, DE mobile could at least provide a fallback with no or minimal CSS support in this case, rather than a cryptic "Paging Error" message.

There's also a whole difference between unsplit ePub and an ePub file where one flow is 310k.
