The ePub is BROKEN!

Well, there you go. The advantage I first stated for Mobi -- fewer ways to screw it up because it's less complicated.
As for the ePub format at Feedbooks ... why is it that Sony works perfectly and the Nook and Kobo don't? At any rate, Feedbooks' format (except for the Chapter Headings), as well as their Table of Contents, etc., all work well. They work much better than a lot of the ePub books I find (either in public domain or bought). So Feedbooks may "break the rules" but, apparently, so do many other ePub publishers -- and those publishers "break the rules" in such a way as to make the format really lousy.
So again, maybe the layer of complication bulit into ePub documents, makes the Mobi's simpler format inherently superior? It has been consistently better on my Kindles, than ePub's format has been on my other Readers.
