After viewing the new test ePub from tex2002ans, I issues with both SVG and HTMLbtables.

I made the size of my ADE window smaller.

The SVG table in the SVG wrapper did work as expected, but because it fit the entire table on screen at once, it was too small to read.

The HTML table was good to read until I increased the font size to be too large to fit width wise without going past the edge of the window. But if the font size was not too large, it displayed best because it was more readable and the rows that didn't fit dropped to the next page (and so on).

So in either case, there are issues. If it's a small enough and simple enough table, SVG could work. HTML could work as well.

The font size did not change with the SVG table in the SVG wrapper. I could change the font size with the HTML table.

Given that you don;t know the font size nor the screen size, the HTML table is a better option. Especially when reading on a cell phone screen such as an iPhone. As for a 6" eInk screen, I would say again, the HTML table is better. given how many rows are in the SVG table, it would come out smaller and harder for to read. The HTML table as long as the font size is not too large to go off the side of the screen, it's the winner.
