This is just a question and I figured this would be the best forum to ask in.

Do you guys know of any ebook reader devices that offer built-in support for italics and bolds? By this, I mean the following:

A) the bolds and italics are genuine font styles, not simulated like you see on the Kindles and Sony Readers.
B) they are on the device and do not require embedded fonts in epubs or pdfs.

Also, this is a slightly unrelated question, but will ePub support custom kerning and ligatures in the future?

Thanks!
