Unfortunately Amazon isn't getting much pressure from the Kindle masses to support ePub.. However if they want to look serious when pushing Kindle into universities and schools they better remedy to it. |
Well, the font embedding looks like a real useful features, and vector graphics too, if you want to wide the range of available books.
