The Android epub readers wander every which way and not always happily, either! Some totally toss publisher CSS out. Others have weird overrides. I downloaded one once, can't remember the name, but it was a relatively popular one, and it made all headings a particularly ugly GREEN color. Like why?
Another decided to override the default display for the <abbr> tag, setting it to display as a BLOCK ELEMENT rather than inline. Even if the tag was specified INLINE in CSS!
Some apps will ignore a semantic <hr/> rule, resulting in no scene break appearing. I try not to think about these apps. I don't want to believe people actually read books in them, yet obviously, it happens. 🤣
