Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....(I was sorely tempted to say "oh, gosh, you GOT me," and give it back to him displaying as he wanted--in ONE device, the nitwit, and just wait for him to come back in weeks/months complaining about how bloody sh***y it looks in other devices...).
Rounded corners. Joy. It can be done reliably in CSS3, but do any e-readers support that completely? If not, you'll have to go and jackass around with tiny little images for each corner, or a borderless textbox in a div with a background image, and all those kinds of fun.

It's one of the reasons why I detest front-end web development.
