Can you suggest where to look?

There's no other way than to try it out. AFAIK no such public information exists. You can also ask for specific advice/suggestions here in the Kindle and Kobo forums, as experienced users often know what works and what doesn't.

As to Kindle and Kobo dedicated eink readers, it gets even more complicated, as they're capable of reading more than one format and formatting/layout is handled differently with each. Kindles read AZW3, KFX and MOBI (and PDF, which is fixed layout and can't be formatted); Kobos read EPUB and KEPUB. It's up to the user which format they want to use, and everyone has different preferences.

In short, unless you're an author or a publisher, don't bother to format your books for absolutely every reading device and app out there - it's not worth the trouble. Pick a couple you're likely to use, try them out, adjust your formatting accordingly and ask for help if you run into any issues.
