Heavy CSS is pretty stupid in a RSS feed.
Took a look at your screenshot, I can clearly see the problem here, we already support entities encoded using #code; but not those with &code;.
We'll add the support for those too in our new parsing system.
Most RSS feeds are a real mess though, you can hardly imagine how many fixes we need to add to support broken RSS feeds. For example, I've seen a few RSS feeds where the HTML tags themselves were encoded with HTML entities: that's really ugly.
Tried to use tidy in order to transform all of this bad HTML into nice and easy to parse XHTML, but even tidy failed to clean some of these feeds.
Edit: updated the first message of the thread with a new text and another screenshot for the "Books" tab.
