How is RMSDK a detriment to how epubs display? Most publishers know it's failings and do not use such features as font-variant:small-caps or the text transforms. If you really need epub3 features, a simple rename from .epub to .kepub.epub will switch to the ACCESS renderer with it's epub3 support. As for the "very old" version of RMSDK? I seem to have noted that the latest firmware revisions are using RMSDK 10 which was released in Jan. 2014. Since RMSDK 11 was released in the dim distant past of Sept. 2014, I can understand why you feel that RMSDK 10 is now a "very old" version.
