Not in five years.

Epub 3.0 might have supplanted ePub 2.0, but there's no way the publishing industry could change to a completely new standard that quickly. We've barely got ePub 2.0 properly adopted and that's after four years (2007-2011), and was built on the older Open eBook standard that was started in 1999!

Even Mobipocket was based on Open eBook in many ways.
