Since you are publishing on Kobo, what you really need to do is get a Kobo Reader to doubel check your eBooks, Also, are you using epubcheck to make sure there are no structural errors? Are you using styles in Word instead of highlighting and selecting say center or bold? You should check your ePub code to make sure there is no code left from Word that should be cleaned up.

I know I don't NEED to embed fonts. But since it's my book, it's also my identity. And again, I'm reconsidering whether or not to embed my own fonts...
Anyway... I figured out how to manage that and it works now, in case I decide I really want to embed my own fonts.
Yes, I've used de epubcheck (I "passed" without any faults!) and yes I used styles in Word instead of simply usng center or bold. I'm using the Smashwords style guide
.
And since I'm also going to publish through Smashwords and Amazon/Kindle, I don't really see the need for buying a Kobo Reader. If I do that, I should probably also buy a Kindle, but even buying both is no guarantee my e-book will turn out perfect on every device... And even just one of them is more money than I can miss
.
I've checked my e-book in Adobe Digital Editions and it looks perfect. I've also checked my e-book in the EPUB reader on my iPhone and it looks perfect. I'm going to let my sister check on her e-reader, but I'm pretty sure my EPUB looks good.
