Macworld: IDW unleashes Comics for Apple's iBooks as Fixed Width ePubs

http://www.macworld.com/article/1621...c.twt_macworld

These titles are some of the first comics to use the fixed-layout ePub format Apple’s made available in the iBookstore. “The ePub format is very different than what we’re able to put together [in an app],” said Webber. An app can provide more control, offering features like panel-to-panel zoom and auto-play. With the fixed-layout format, however, IDW has been able to work with the iBooks team to release the comics in a way that makes sense as an ebook.
I realize the format is just for iOS for now, but am curious if the fixed-layout ePub type format will become popular for other ePub aware devices. I understand the Nook Kids format may be similar?

Plus I found it interesting in light of Amazon's move to PDF for more complex layouts.
