This is replicable on the Forma, Sage, and Elipsa 2e. The italics are present in the Calibre reader and when I open the book in Adobe DE, so it's definitely something going wrong during the syncing process.



This seems to be true for some epubs and not others, and, bafflingly, sometimes the book will be correctly italicized in some places and not others.



It isn't a font issue as I only use the publisher default or preinstalled fonts.



The only solution I have discovered is to sync the books from the Kobo Desktop software, as they retain their italics.



Is this a known issue with a known solution, or am I stuck syncing with Kobo Desktop rather than Calibre? (I really hope not.)
Maybe share the names of some of these books so folks could look at the preview versions from the Kobo store.
