Jeez, I don't want to read a web page, I want to read a book.
Yep, yep. Just looking at epub editor situation we are not even in mature (sorry Valoric v2 is great, but it's no Dreamweaver or VisualStudio) phase, the renderers are also few and buggy. Adding video and script( especially one that changes layout) can postpone mature products for awhile.

I agree, Dreamweaver or Visual Studio it is not. Sadly, I lack the resources of MS and Adobe.

Actually since all renderers except ADE are based on browser engines, adding video and script is pretty easy.
