No, Jon, that would be a problem with the person who coded the book and used <i> instead of <em>. Once again, try to grok the difference between visual and semantic tags. As an example, say the ebook has the name of a ship traditionally shown in italic i.e. HMCS Chippawa. Would you expect that name to be spoken with emphasis? As another example, an ebook has the phrase Damn your black soul to the depths of Hades!. Would you expect that phase to be spoken with emphasis?

Seriously, Jon, consider taking a holiday from posting until you are able to add some value to the threads. At this point in time, very few of your posts meet that standard.
