Agreed. Additionally, iPad and Nook (and even other readers) are not dead yet! I think many would LOVE for Sigil to have ePub 3 capabilities. It has been about a year since the adoption of the standard and the Christmas device rush is not that far off. Google is releasing their tablet. Microsoft theirs. B&N and Amazon will no doubt release new ones. The rumors on iPad mini never cease (yawn).
I think the fixed layout and embedded audio will definitely take off in textbooks and children's books. B&N also uses a form of ePub 3 for their "read to me " books, which sooner or later they have to allow small publishers to use (currently they only allow big publisher partners to create those).
Don't get me wrong: I love Sigil. Keep it up.
