@Ken_Moorhead I have to say that your testing is not working well. You also need to test with various eInk Readers such as Kobo & Kindle. They can perform differently then you think. The programs are not the same.
As for using h1-h4 in the main text, don't. h1-h4 are for headers. Regular text in the main text should be using <p> with or without classes. As for colors, don't. They don't work well with eInk screens that don't support color. |

@Quoth - Thank you. Everything you said is what I pretty much suspected. Especially the part about <p> and classes.
@Ned - Understood and I can see that. For what it's worth, I've abandoned the idea. |

Also colour may have unexpected consequences in "Dark Mode" which different phones and tablets may do differently, or may be kludged by an App. |

Yes, unlike paper the advantage of ebooks is changing things done by publishers that you don't like. The ebook should be tested with generic defaults (without embedded enabled) and embedded fonts treated as a suggestion.
