But probably no worse than any other Adobe RMSDK based ereader. I just looked back at your photos. The only other e-ink ereader is a Kindle, and it's support for epub2 is a LOT worse than any Kobo ereader.

I must respectfully disagree. I have had many books (over 1,000) that would not display well on the Kobo(s). Double/triple line spacing being the most notable, but weird font sizes, odd indentations, one line per page quite common All of these books displayed just fine on various Sony readers and on the kindle (my mothers) after converting to mobi. The majority of these books were originally .lrf. .lit or B&N epubs. Converting these books to mobi and then back to epub seems to 'fix' them so they can be read on the Kobo(s).
Several days ago I tried reading a book on my Aura HD and it would open to the cover. Any attempt to go further resulted in a return to the main page. Tried touching, swiping, TOC, slide bar, slide bar arrows etc.
Same book works perfectly on my T3.
So why do you think the Adobe engine is less functional on the Kobo? Lot of Kobo readers out there and Adobe gets the same financial return from Kobo as from Sony I assume. Does not seem likely that Adobe is providing an inferior engine. And not because it is an older version of said engine I am sure as old Sony readers (before Kobo even sold readers) display epubs more reliably.
