OTOH, other than for my own use, I tend to dislike drop caps. The last ebook I helped with that used drop caps ended up with a mess of code trying to make the drop caps look good acceptable in multiple formats and when drop caps just didn't work. |

The problem is that ePub wasn't fully finished wen the spec was released and getting all these programs to support new additions isn't easy and may never happen and even if all these programs did support the latest features, try getting all these programs updated for every instance where they are used. Not likely to happen. For example, look at Kobo. It uses RMSDK (ADE). But Kobo has not updated RMSDK in like forever and may never do so. |

I created a simple epub3 test book that will display the rendering engine version, if the reading app supports JavaScript. (Select the Local storage test chapter and click Version.)

![]() Apparently, the Android version uses a different rendering engine. (It also won't work with the last Safari Windows version, because it was introduced in Safari 9.) |

Just because Kobo has released new firmware does not mean they've updated RMSDK. If I am not mistaken, the version RMSDK Kobo is using is equivelent to some ADE version 3.x.
