Also,

I'm in the throes of updating the design of a couple of websites (to 
better accommodate re-flowing of text on devices such as the iPod 
Touch, which alters the display of heads, such that these are 
sometimes shown smaller than the body text!) and I found this = a 
Stephen Coles blog at the FontShop website,

"What the iPad is Missing (No, it’s not a Camera)"
posted 8 April 2010 to

which I thought was pretty good.

It doesn't deal specifically with the (browser-related) issues I have, 
but for anyone interested in designing e-communications in general, 
Coles raises some important questions about the current 
state-of-the-art (nowhere near as advanced for e-books as it should be).

My own question/complaint: Why can't everything (e.g., Firefox, Google 
Chrome, Opera, Safari on the PC, etc.) display type as well as IE does?
