Nook handles em units just fine. It supports everything ADE does, just with lots of fun quirks caused by the way their default stylesheet behaves.

On the Kobo, you may get better behavior by using the newer renderer. Rename it to and in .kepub.epub, and I'd expect it to "just work". In legacy EPUB mode, it uses ADE; in KEPUB mode, it uses NetFront ACCESS, which is based on WebKit, and tends to be more standards-compliant.

You're going to have some headaches if you ever port your content to Kindle, because your line height is < 1.2 (120%). Many Kindle models will silently change that to 1.2. If the line height is important, you might try reducing the height of the line by using height tags on a div coupled with overflow clipping instead. Since it only contains one word, you don't have to worry about wrapping.

BTW, part of the problem probably stems from leaving h2 at an arbitrary font size in the original version. I see that you changed that in the final version. That's probably wise.
