Actually, what needs to be fixed more then the file structure is the italics. They are way off. The problem is that Sony takes the non-italic font and "adjusts" it to be italic. And then spacing at the end it the italic is way off. So if you have this is a test. on the Reader it can end up looking like This is a test .

That is NOT good. The way to fix it is it add a true italic font of the ones already in the reader.

This is why I am looking forward to Book Designer and html2lrf being able to properly use other fonts so I can at least use a true Italic font and get the spacing correct. But Sony really needs to fix this.
