That's on you, I'm afraid. If you buy the big boxes of pieces, you can be just as limited as you want to be.

Even better: have representatives who represent people. We have proper information systems, we can do this. A representative gets qualified by having the appropriate minimum number of people sign up as their constituents. They then represen

FBReader uses CSS from the document by default; you can turn it off in, IIRC, four stages. KOreader gives you more control but in a less friendly manner: in addition to choosing specific CSS from several supplied files, you can write your o
