Very true, but ePub is a "specify everything in the book" format. That's not all bad - eg it allows you to have multiple fonts within the book, which Mobi doesn't.

Does the default font have at least real italics? What i've seen of ADE in windows is not italics but slanted (you can tell in on the shape of "a", "f", "g"...). The last ePUB I've uploaded (Sylvie and Bruno) has lots of italics.
I've just checked and you're right - no "real" italics.

Don't forget that you will have the option of using Mobi firmware at some point, and retaining everything you have at present with the Gen3. ePub is definitely a format where you gain some features and lose others compared to Mobi.
