I'm really looking forward to seeing the LITB and how the TOC works--or doesn't--with a background image.

I've seen all kinds of nonsense done in eBooks. A recent thread discusses an eBook that has some of the text in a light blue color and it looks OK on a tablet or phone, but does not work on an eInk screen.

I was looking at an older Clive Cussler eBook last week where instead of putting the indents in the CSS, they were put in the HTML.

One of the worst eBooks I've seen is The Martian. The book itself is very good, but the eBook not so good. They decided to embed some of the worst fonts. They embedded Free Serif, Free Sans, and Free Mono and the problem is that those fonts are just very very light and are horrible on eInk.
