Yep, that must be it.

About the only comment I have is the fixed left and right margins. If these are set, the Kobo devices will respect them and not let the user change them. Removing them means the reader can set them how they want. I would suggest removing them unless they are part of the look you are after.

- The large letters at the start of chapters and sections are called dropcaps.
- The margins that were fixed are now adjustable on the Glo (and Touch, I suppose). You can test it for yourself if you want by changing the first item in the stylesheet into this:
Code:
@page {
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: 40px;
margin-left: 40px;
}
- The font has a medieval look. I only use it for chapter titles, as I know most people have their own preferred font for reading (and the Kobo lets you add your own fonts in a very simple way). I thought the title font added a nice touch, without taking away the reader's choice.
Thank you very much for your help and suggestions.
