Plus, another issue is that they are coding for the ePub 3.2 standard when there are no Readers that support it and I don't know of any programs that do support ePub 3.2.
The thing is that the eBooks they have do not have complex formatting and simple CSS will work very well. I took one of their books and in the thread I linked above, posted the eBook I cleaned up and the code is very simple and works in many more places then their version does.

Jon, as I asked you before, please name a few of that mass of users still using ADE 2.0.1 to read epubs.
As far as I recall, after @davidfor made a comment about the media selector, the response from Standard Ebooks was that it would be fixed. When I downloaded
The Count of Monte Cristo about 2 minutes ago, the media query in the CSS is now:
Code:
/* Invert images in dark mode. RMSDK requires a target media as well as a state. */
@media all and (prefers-color-scheme: dark){
img.epub-type-se-image-color-depth-black-on-transparent{
filter: invert(100%);
}
which oddly enough matches what @davidfor posted. Though I would have preferred if they had added the widows: 1 and orphans: 1 as well.
I tend to agree with @acabal when he called ADE 2.0.1 the IE6 of epub readers. It's time to give up on using it to read books and reserve it for downloading epubs that use an .acsm file. A renderer that does not barf on a media query would be a good start.
