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.

In the configuration options for the Kob TouchExtended driver, under the extended tab, check Enable Extended Kobo Features to enable ligatures.
