How come Firefox and Chrome can use such things as font variant for small caps but for an EPUB I'll either have to ignore it or make a less good span class? Even WOFF fonts are ignored in Kobo. Forgive me for finding all this very strange. Why don't ereaders just use a vastly superior web browser engine, all we're paying for really is the e-ink screen.
Because there are programs and devices that do not work with small-caps (CSS) such a RMSDK used in Kobo Readers to display ePub. That's the most major place this happens. And you do need the NCX for ePub on a Kobo.
