fjtorres: If that is true and everybody just takes the spec and implements it in his own, non-compatible way, causing epub to fork into several different formats, then at that point I *will* sell my ereader *again*, and stay with paper books forever.
Ereaders can only work when all publishers and hardware vendors stick to the same standard, or we're going to get the same mess as we had with internet browsers, with every software maker doing different things, leaving the web developer to code for 25 different browsers (and versions).
I *hope* that the world of e-publishing learns from that disaster. It took 15 years to (almost) solve it.
