Given that Epub including Epub3 is just a subset of the web standards every modern browser supports, shouldn't it be absolutely trivial for Amazon/BN/Kobo/Sony to simply port Webkit or Mozilla to their devices, with some tweaks, as the rendering engine, a la Apple's solution with iBooks? Writing an Ebook engine from the ground up seems like re-inventing the wheel.
