No KF8 format is produced for these books as far as I can tell in my testing.
Holy crap, that sounds horrible!

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.
