No KF8 format is produced for these books as far as I can tell in my testing.

lol, 3.2 acted like 3.1 never even existed.
If JSWolf had his way, EPUB4 would act like EPUB3 never existed (but that won't happen).
There's a lot of good things in EPUB3 (semantics, MathML), but a lot of bad things too.

... and honestly, how often would this even happen? Aren't most ebooks only a few MBs?
Even in the case of a larger book (picture book, etc.), it would only help with
extremely slow internet.
I guess people really want to read NOW NOW NOW! Instead of a few seconds from now.
