My problem is: the tablet, for some reason, does not show italics in ePubs... not in books downloaded straight from Amazon on the Kindle app, nor ebooks converted to ePub format from Calibre.

The same files show italics correctly in the Calibre viewer on my laptop, and on my Galaxy S2 'Epic 4G Touch'.

So, I'm not sure what the hangup is-- I'm not all that familiar with XHTML and I can't seem to find any good information through searches.

ANy hint, tips, whatnot on how to program Calibre to convert the books so that I can see italics on my tablet?
The reading App (on the TAB) is probably at fault,
but it could be the book is poorly coded with no Fallback when the (italic) font is not available.

You really should mention the reading App as Tabs and iPads are not reading devices
