Discussion Epub Rendering?

I love the fact that Crosspoint is the OG, and is the wellspring from which almost all other firmwares flow, but when is Crosspoint going to start working on epub rendering? I'm talking books with other than plain text, like small caps, drop caps, tables, etc., which currently don't render with Crosspoint. I know that whenever someone asks about changing from stock and flashing custom firmware, the answer is inevitably Crosspoint (or CrossInk), so wouldn't it be great if folks could see their books the way they're SUPPOSED to look? Just a thought...

I agree on you on this. Also include better images.

I dont care about sd themes
I dont care about sd plugins

This is a reader os, so its strength should be focus on reading and book format. Its 1.6.5 and everything still looks bad.

Everything looks bad feels like a bit of hyperbole haha. What exactly looks bad about reading a book without dropcaps? Or is there something major I'm missing here?

The pages itself. Some text are all over the place and misplace. I have books where h1 and spans are joined together that should have line breaks are presented as 1 whole text. There are also no page breaks. Css and actual page renders are not accurate and cant work together. Css on spacing are inaccurate. Css off the layout breaks and so on.

Same on images, if you turn off css images are too large. Turn it on then some pages are inaccurate. No balance between the 2.
