People may have that expectation, but it's a flawed expectation. The whole point of this tool is that it's for producing
interactive books, something that you just can't do with ePub 2, Mobi, etc. Hell yes, I'd be the first to agree with you that it would have been wonderful if Apple had produced a fully-fledged ePub 3 reader, but I just don't think that's a practical commercial proposition at the current time. I completely understand where you're coming from on this.
