There are a few things about the Sony PRS - 650 that could use improving, mainly the same things that are listed on the PRS - 350 review: the lack of styling options, such as changing line - spacing, margins, font type, etc, all of which requires adding fonts and editing the
CSS file of an ebook to change styling; the fact that landscape mode breaks pages into two sections for ebooks, showing duplicate sentences; and other minor annoyances like having to go through multiple menu selections for certain
features and settings.
What's even better is that these
features work on both Kobo and non-Kobo ebooks, although sometimes margins don't seem to adjust on certain ebooks that have had their
CSS modified with Calibre.

I do certainly agree that InDesign is falling a little short at getting these
features into the ePub directly; even a simple paragraph rule is not turned into a bottom - border in
CSS — I hope that, one day, we won't need to dig in to the ePub at all!

CSS Profile includes all of the

CSS Profile includes all of the
features defined in the
CSS Writing Modes Module Level 3 [
CSS3WritingModes] specification using - epub - prefixed property names, syntax as defined in [
CSS3WritingModes - 20110428] and semantics as defined in [
CSS3WritingModes].

Work on a major revision of the EPUB specifications began in 2010, with the goal of aligning EPUB more closely with HTML, and in the process bringing new, native multimedia

Cool Reader offers a broad range of supported e-book formats, top - notch ability to tailor

While ePub currently lacks some
features that are important to magazines, its general approach based on XML and web technologies including HTML and

features.
The inclusion of a select set of
features from the
CSS 3 Speech Module [

This presentation will focus on the formatting options available in ePub, how open standards like
CSS are implemented in the real world, and identify those
features of ebooks which can be controlled — and those that are just part of the new publishing reality.

features from print layouts that should really be governed by
CSS, handled by the E-book reader, or forgotten about entirely.

Features, and
CSS animations weren't officially part of EPUB.
The Pressbooks User Guide goes into depth on both basic and advanced

CSS allow for embedded fonts, flourishes, and other design
features to set your eBook apart.
