It works with ePubs, but the problem is that an ePub that is badly authored (too common at this point) can do things which break dynamic font-sizes and other things that are common among eReaders.

I can set fixed font sizes, and even fixed fonts in ePub and the reader will happily render it as I tell it to, even though it probably shouldn't.

Another example of how this is bad is that I've run across books that set font-sizes as percents and set the body to be smaller or larger than the font size the user has selected. Can't really block an ePub from doing that (how do you do captions/etc otherwise?), but the body text is annoyingly the wrong size because of it.
