I'm used to using extra indenting (rather than quote marks) to identify a long quote -- for print and PDF documents. But is indenting reliable across multiple different e-readers, including older ones? If not, is there any other formatting, such as italics, that would be more reliable? How do people usually handle long quotes in nonfiction ebooks?

(I'm asking here because I'd like to know for both epub and Kindle formats, but please let me know if a different forum would be better.)

Thanks!
