I can only think that FBReader and Stanza are not handling the float CSS property correctly. Browsers and ADE handle this correctly, and it's in the ePub spec. I can't think of another way to do the graphical drop caps. Hopefully they'll be improved with time.

"The Author" is intended to be on the right, and "Kingston, Surrey" is supposed to be on the left - that's not an ADE flaw, it's correct.

The page numbers are an insane idea of ADE - they're not in the epub itself.

Some of the pictures are intended to be full page pictures. But I take your point that the inconsistency is odd in an ebook. I might revisit that decision.

Thanks very much for taking the time to have a look and give feedback.
