I think I just figured out why I'm having such a hard time with this. I checked all three of the sans serif fonts on my Kindle in a book with enhanced formatting. *none* of them use ligatures, as far as I can tell--in the words "fine" "fields" and "file" there is a definite dot over the i. When I look at the same book using a serif font, the dot over the i disappears.
Since I only read using sans serif fonts, I wouldn't see any ligatures even if the book was formatted to use them. I wonder if this is also true on the Kobo? Of course, on the Kobo, I only read in Kepub format, so I wouldn't see them there, either.
