@GMW thank you for the reflow recommendation. I do not have an 6 inch e-ink reader. My wife has an I-pad. But I have no idea how to arrange a test.
You cannot effectively emulate an e-reader using a browser. Different technologies and different expectations. It's been some years since I last went through the process, but Amazon used to have software that allowed you to emulate various Kindle displays in a program on your desktop. (Which means building your epub then converting to mobi - for which Amazon had another utility.)

If this is a commercial enterprise, and if you do want the book to be readable on e-ink readers, then I strongly suggest you invest in a cheaper Kobo (or similar) so you can see for yourself. e-readers are different and it's best to see it for yourself to really understand.

Alternatively, you can find one of the various services out there that can help you out - for a price.
