Sigil has only minimal ePub3 support, it's best to start out with an ePub2 and export it with the
ePub3 output plugin once you're done to avoid validation issues. (You can't save ePub3 files with Sigil because Sigil'll downconvert them to ePub2 files.)

Very few. Once of them is the
Kobo. As for mobile apps, there's iBooks for iOS and Gitden Reader for Android/iOS. Adobe has released a new
RMSDK with ePub3 support for eInk readers, but, AFAIK, none of the major reader manufacturers has implemented it yet.

In that case epub2 is fully sufficient, because you could easily emulate the functionality of HTML5 tags such as <aside> and <code> with CSS rules.

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue with Windows 10 and Sigil 0.8.7. Did you assign styles to <p> or <blockquote> tags? If so, they might be causing this issue.
