All this talk of epub vs kepub and firmware patches reminds me how immature this ebook technology still is. Truly mature technology just works. Obviously I don't mind too much--I like technology and I'm willing to edit CSS files to get ebooks looking decent. But when I'm doing it do think 'this is a little crazy'. But I have thought ever since I started reading on ereaders 5 years ago, that this technology is still brittle, and not truly user friendly.
Maybe on a Kindle you don't have this problem. But then their typography engine is so primitive that clearly they have a long way to go too.
