The rendering fidelity of EPUB books is the #1 feature I care most. The #2 feature is the preservation of the Publisher's style other than the layout parameters (such as font size, font family, line spacing, etc.) I choose to override.
By #1, I get a reading experience as close to the pbook (paper book) as the publisher has intended. By #2, I get a better personalized reading experience than I can get with number one.
I have been extremely happy about MapleRead in terms of satisfying my strict criteria set for features #1 and #2.
It's hard to cite specific examples of how MapleRead is better than other apps in this aspect without comparing it against other apps' flaws.
However, I do notice that there is very little (or none?) about this rendering fidelity being discussed in threads about BookMaster and MapleRead over the last 6 months since sbaylor introduced himself to this community. This is in stark contrast to what you see in another sub-forum where many rendering problems/errors are posted. Why? I think in this case no news is good news.
