There is just one thing which I don't get at all: this whole formatting stuff should be basics for the ereader industry, but it seems they're still struggling with it. If you take a kobo with stock firmware you will get a messed up format shown on the ereader unless you try to patch the firmware or the epub with calibre. Just talking about hyphenation or wasted space after a chapter. There should be no need to convert epubs at all

The things mentioned that may be missing are not fancy. They are plain old code. Fancy is something like dropcaps.
