But that got me in the habit of using <i> and <b> just for the reason DiapDealer said... it works on everything, including the then buggy Kobo firmware. I also figured <i> and <b> are shorter (yes, I'm lazy, less typing is always good ), and as long they both did the same thing and both generally supported, I didn't see a reason to change to <em> and <strong>.
That would have to be sometime before the H2O was released. I've never had a problem with <em> with my H2O. I did have a problem with whatever version RMDSk was used on a 650 when the encoding of the files (not in the files, but the files themselves) was incorrect. I'd end up with mostly bolded text.
