That's interesting. I would have expected that Sigil, Calibre and Chrome all have "viewers" based on derivatives of Webkit and would therefore display similarly.
It seems Google has fixed something for Chrome that didn't, or hasn't yet, gone back upstream and into the Qt Webkit view. I doubt there is anything Sigil can easily do about it short of fixing it in Qt.
I'm somewhat surprised that this works on Kobo. Do you have an epub that I could try on my Sony? I'm kind of curious now
