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.
