OMG, don't get me started about ligatures. Anyone who does ligatures in an uncontrolled e-book environment is crazy. What happens if Suzie buys the book and changes the font to something else--that doesn't have a ligature set?
If you can't control the fonts, it's a possible KOD. (Kiss O'Death). (We recently had an experience with a book showing up, with ligature issues, and I'm still yanking my hair out of my noggin.) We never make eBooks with ligatures, excepting fixed-layout. Period.
