I found the following bug report at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Special:Preferences#MathML_bad_default.

I don't have a Nook Tablet, so I can't test it myself. I requested a screenshot (with info on how to post it), but if there is anything else you need, please tell me and I will ask for it.
Here is some more information. I find it quite odd that nothing is displayed at all not even a fallback image.

> That's it, nothing displays between "Symbolically:" and the next paragraph of text.
> When I peek at the page source (not "Edit" in Wikipedia, but the innerHTML on the browser itself), I see things like XML references (maybe referring to the MathML standard, maybe trying to include Javascript), and a bunch of HTML-like tags that are NOT in the Wikipedia source (as displayed by "Edit").
