I now have most of what I want working on iOS, Mac/Windows, and the Paperwhite.

The trickiest thing was to do speech bubbles like you see in a chat app. Due to a lack of support for CSS positioning, I ended up implementing each bubble as a paragraph with drop caps (using the chat avatar icon instead of a capital letter), which looks reasonably close to a chat and doesn't break.

Thanks again for setting me the right down the right path!
And those are working in KF7?
