When I was referring to Basic HTML, part of it meant no CSS. I've looked into CSS and it is overly complicated. It has a syntax that is unrelated to regular HTML, which makes it confusing to handcode. I suspect that CSS was designed to not be handcoded, but to be created using an intermediary program.

I don't mind some embedded fonts such as a handwriting font. But don't embed the base font as what's used in most pBooks don't work well enough on eInk.
Also, stop using these crap programs that generate terrible code such as Vellum and Kindle Create.
And also stop using a CSS that's full of unused classes. It takes less then a minute to remove all unused classes.
