You think so? There will be a lot of complaints that those restrictive readers suck, as they cannot even comply with the hot new standard. BOOHOOO, my book is crap, b/c i cannot talk to other people while I read. Even right now there is complaints that some readers don't fully support all of epubs current incarnation. Even browsers for world wide web. Why do they have to tell the server - oh this is IE, this is Opera, this is Chrome, this is Safari. IF they would comply with the html standard, they should say: "this is a html4 browser", "i am html4, but i want the mobile version please" that should be plenty for the web server to supply the correct format ....
