Well, just a quick scan shows that predictably, though I have been telling them for years, they follow Marcello's lead in getting "@media handheld" exactly wrong. Ebook readers, including epub and mobi ebook readers are NOT "@media handheld" devices because the epub standards committee has declared that these devices are NOT "@media handheld" devices, rather only tinier and weaker devices such as early PDAs [think "Plucker"] are "@media handheld" devices. And in fact "@media handheld" is not something that epub standard devices respond to. So this is another example of PG/DP implementing something which is deliberately broken in order to assure that volunteers are writing something which is gratuitously incompatible with the rest of the world.

(read the thread to see why "best" is in quotes.) > http://www.pgdp.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=52308 since its release has been anticipated for so long, it strikes me as being just a touch underwhelming. but maybe there's more substance there than i see. -bowerbird _______________________________________________ gutvol-d mailing list gutvol-d-4LCm/o+qPMZ96Xl/[email protected] http://lists.pglaf.org/mailman/listinfo/gutvol-d
