Seriously.

Calibre supports it, which is just freakin' awesome.

100% with ya electragician. I was on the recent beta team and griped repeatedly about it myself. The fix would be so trivial (regardless of what the resident trolls say). Only thing I can figure is the publishers don't like kobo messing with their EPUBs so the issues are contractual.

The only effective workaround for now is to strip DRM (EPUB DRM is trivially easy to break) and use Calibre to reformat the book. This definitely should not be something an eReader user has to deal with, but that's where we are.
