[code]Agreed, but as you know, not all do. But I would disagree with you that "most" people use ADE. I don't think that's right. I mean...I don't have another candidate, but I just don't think most people read on desktops, compared to smartphones, dedicated devices, etc. I think that's an assumption on your part, Jon.

ADE is used in most Readers that handle ePub. ADE is used on laptops/Windows tablets, and yes desktops (but probably not that much). Some programs use RMDSK (the heart of ADE) such as Bluefire Reader.[/quote]
Yeah, that's an argument.

It's an issue of "Let's make the eBook look as close to the pBook as we can even though that doesn't work for an eBook". And in some cases, the publisher embeds the fonts used in the book and they don't work because they are way too light.

We try to use the print book fonts, but we replace those that are too light, FWIW.

So how do you handle windows & orphans?

Honestly, I mostly don't. My attitude is, "this is an eBook; get over it."
I just tell the clients, tough, kids, this is how they work.

But your so good at spewing (spewing what may not be appropriate for MR  ).

I downgrade my spewing to PG-ratings for MR, of course. :-)
