This is one of the few cons, but even this has been mitigated in the past few years with better readers.

Like Kindle now allows you to expand/scroll large tables (similar to zooming + panning/scanning large resolution images).
That is really good to hear! Gotta love new tech!!
Is that tech just on new devices or is it supported on the older hardware?

Ebooks have infinite verticality, but limited horizontal space (skinny cellphones + large fonts), hence vertical tables may be better.


I usually use auto-scroll on my reader, Marvin, so I truly have unlimited vertical space. However, if you have 'paged' content, does the ePub spec support the "display: table-header-group" property to repeat the header across breaking pages??
