I haven't done any sort of survey, but I'd guess support is spotty.
It's more fun when you don't use a dedicated reader, but have an app on a multi-purpose device. My eBook viewer is an Android tablet. I use the open source FBReader for Android app as my eBook viewer. FBReader tries to support CSS, but I turned it partially off - with it on, some books I have displayed poorly because what the eBook's design tries to do is a poor fit for the device. (A wish list item for FBReader is to have that supported by book, left on by default, but turned off for books where it's problematic.)
Since I want to read the book comfortably, I turn off things like font selection through CSS and use built in defaults. I haven't seen eBooks attempt to use rounded corners on text boxes, and don't especially care if one wants to. That strikes me as a trick better suited for use in browsers running on large displays.
(UIs that attempt to be one-size-fits-all across all form factors are another pet peeve - <cough> Ubuntu Unity </cough>
