I'm also reluctant to use KePub because of the way it counts screens as pages.

As for properly recognizing CSS, I understand both sides of this argument. But, again, fixing an ePub (when I learn to do it) means more back and forth between a computer and the device, which is what I'm trying to avoid.
Does Tolino and/or Pocketbook allow you to shrink margins? Sometimes I find that the margins on an eBook can bee too large. Kobo will not allow me to shrink them. So I have to edit the ePub to fix that and other things like all that wasted space in chapter headings and offset text that's smaller and get rid of line height and some other stupid things.
