Doits:

I don't know what he did--I have a suspicion--but his italicized font is not showing up in the LITB or iOS. He italicized TNR. I suspect that this is possibly because he's italicizing with a paragraph STYLE, rather than using the usual italics tags, or even spans, for the text he wishes to be italicized.

Also, his centered material is showing up not-centered on both. My first guesstimate would be to wrap all that in spans--see if that helps. We all know how hinky the iPads can be about not-spanned material, whether it's iBooks or "other."

I'm not quite sure why his centered material isn't showing up that way, unless the errata is in the HTML/ePUB/MOBI, but the italics...if the book was created with embedded TNR fonts, like you sometimes see with Mac products, it's possible that the italics aren't showing up because the TNR-Italic font isn't embedded.

Given that it's also NOT working in iOS, I'm fairly sure it's not just that he used "Send to Kindle," or sideloaded the mobi instead of the .azk.
