Old browsers don't understand a lot of things. To be truly backwards compatible would require staying in the 1990's, technology-wise. The solution is much more simple -- install/upgrade any one of the 3 major (free) browsers.

Anyway, what matters more is if any ereaders don't support <strong> and <em>.
