Whatever that "something else" is, it apparently isn't a fully functioning CSS layout engine. I'd imagine if I fed it my content on Windows in KePUB mode, it would keel over and die.

Or I could be wrong, and they might have used WebKit, but hacked together the pagination in some custom way rather than using it in paged media output mode like you'd use if you were printing. Hard to say which.
Based on this thread they use the NetFront ACCESS browser (substantiated here) which I had never heard of before I ran across that thread. Seems like it might be based on Blink?

@Hitch, sorry I haven't been able to test the 50% thing on my Oasis yet--been up to my eyeballs, but it is in the back of my mind.
