i am now finding other reasons to prefer the Kobo app over the moon reader app after all. Moon does not seem to honor any font sizes within header tags. It has its own rules for how big a h2, h3... should be, apparently.
It also ignored the indent of a blockquote section of my current read, and also ignored a centred style for one line within that blockquote.
Dropcaps is probably going to be an issue also. I mostly remove those, but I noticed that for one book where I'd left large 1st letter of chapter styles in place, those 1st letters appeared way too large in moon, compared with in other renderers

so I'm thinking that any novel that uses lots of blockquotes - for styling signs, "letters" or extracts that appear within the narrative etc. is going to get mangled by moon reader

if I could find a complete list of what css moon ignores & why, that would be useful, but I doubt that it exists.

so probably I will revert to reading with KObo app on KIndle Fire HDX, using the previous version. I don't read on the KObo arc anyway, so not being able to roll back that version is not a showstopper, and i can use that tablet to assess the next aapp version , when/if it ever happens.

FYI the reasons I prefer my kindle HDX 8.9 to aura HD are: bigger screen, higher screen resolution, ability to go on-line for a dictionary or wikipedia lookup .
I keep wi-fi OFF on the Aura so that I can decide when/if to allow a firmware upgrade.

Although the Kindle is bigger, it is as light as the Aura to hold, and in portrait mode the kobo app allows its volume buttons to act as page turners which is handy for one-handed operation
