Sure em & en both work on Amazon upload to KDP. Why do you think em dash doesn't (which is odd as Amazon is US)?

It's the extra long dash that won't show correctly in kindle previewer. I quit (more or less) using it from advice on mobileread. I now fudge the way-long dash with calibre's snippetology which is fun to do. It would be great if there were a way to insert various CSS to create epub outcomes viewable with calibre's reader that emulates what each and every name brand dedicated ebook reader will show without having to actually purchase that particular piece of hardware. I have no desire to buy any nook, fire, ipad, sony, kobo etc. in addition to my laptop which seems to show epub rules exactly under calibre. As of now, putting cutting edge CSS stuff on amazon runs the risk of it looking corrupt on their own reader. They only use a cut-down subset of CSS. As for little-used unicode stuff (which I like to goof with sporadically) I am perplexed it won't work in the amazon kindle previewer. After all, they have done yeoman's work getting Japanese, Hindi, every which kind of alphabet to work. Seems as though they could at least put out a linux version. I thank you all for your input and correspondence. Best regards, Pop
