Kobo firmware still sucks

A bit off-topic, but here is the cannonical implementation by the IDPF (aka Readium based) of epub2/epub3 viewer for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...adium.r2reader

Does this app respect the css? It should, as any other CSS3 compliant epub reader (calibre, sigil...) or any other application based on Readium/FolioKit engines.

The rest of applications can use these engines or try to add support for some epub2/3 things, but the later means we need to compare between implementations, like we did on browsers (webkit vs gecko vs blink vs ?)

Thanks, that's good to know about. It's always nice to have additional testing platforms that should or will display things correctly.

Sorry, but I have no Android based devices. So I am unable to test any Android program. But you can test it yourself. Make some wild changes to the CSS and see if the program respects them. Then try overrides and see if CSS is still respected even if only some overrides are used.

It is available on iOS too: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/r2-reader/id1363963230

I did test it along with a few other android/iOS applications. I did run kobo test-suites.epub https://github.com/kobolabs/reading-...ee/master/epub.

I did point to the application because I understood that you said that almost all android apps were garbage in terms of css handling.

Well, but this is the Kobo forum... •|龴◡龴|•

A red letter day! I'm agreeing with Lucas Malor!

Well, so you usually don't agree with me? It's a pity, since I usually agree with you •͡˘㇁•͡˘

Hey, there are times when I don't agree with me. Having just one opinion on a topic is just so limiting...
