Kobo weird rendering of complex styles...

Hi,

I read my epubs on a Kobo Aura H2O and write them as a hobby. I use Sigil and Caliber to edit them.

Here is the result I get on both Sigil and Caliber: when I stretch the text, it is correctly redisplayed:





On my Kobo, the lines overlap...

If I sideload the file in kepub, the behavior is correct... but then I have problems with the notes (styles not rendered in popups).

Should render like this:


I know Calibre/Sigil and Kobo don't use the same rendering engine (webkit vs adobe rmsdk).

I would like to create an epub that behaves correctly on all platforms (probably a dream....)

Is it possible to adapt my xhtml and css codes to achieve this goal for this particular epub?

I attached the test.epub file. Maybe you can test it on another platform ?

Thank you for your advice,

Patrick

The problem is that Kobo uses an older version of RMSDK to display ePub. It does not do ePub 3 all that well. I suggest you convert your ePub to KePub and try that on you r Kobo.
