Or are you saying that they stopped being Epub once the spec was released? That doesn't make any sense either.
I'm saying they never were ePub because there was no official fixed layout in ePub at the time and now that there is, they aren't using it, so it's still not ePub. Never was and still isn't ePub no matter what they call it.
