Oddly, I've downloaded a few of their advanced epubs, converted them locally to kepub and they seem to work without issue on my Kobo ereaders. Yes, their stylesheets are a bit complex but they are relatively easy to simplify and they are consistent in each generation of their CSS.

Of course, this is the same Jon who recently jumped into a discussion of semantic tags (<em>, <strong>) vs. visual tags (<i>, <b>) to keep insisting there is no difference between <i> and <em> since they are visually the same. At a WEG, he only reads using his eyes and knows no one who needs or wants to use TTS which makes worrying about accessibility a non-issue in his world. After all, it makes the ebook CSS more complex.
