I think it's a bad idea to "target" any kind of hardware/app with an ebook. Target a
format if you must target anything, but even then ... I'd still recommend trying to make sure it at least works on any device that supports that format. Besides, unless you're starting your own ebook store, I don't think there's going to be an easy way to inform people that your ebook is intended for app
X on hardware
Y.
There's nothing wrong with testing/experimenting and otherwise getting ready for the "
Beyond ePub2 Market" but if your content doesn't specifically
require any of the features ePub3 (or its proprietary variants) brings to the table ... why limit your exposure to a tiny portion of the market—the tiny portion that your specialty ebook is going to work for—by including it?
