Let's stop the madness and say when a reading program/app is garbage. If it forces us to override the CSS then it's garbage no matter how flashy it looks.[/QUOTE]
I agree with you almost entirely, Jon, except that it's not 'we' who override the CSS, it's designer of the app. As someone else in the thread has said many of us don't even know what CSS is, nor how important it is, nor how much work goes into setting up the CSS to make the text of an ebook read consistently across platforms. And I suppose if we don't know what CSS is or how important it is we are hardly likely to care if it is mangled.
It would be good to have a list of apps which override the ebook designer's CSS. Could you perhaps post a list of the apps known to you, Jon? Then others could add to it and make it a thread.
