No, the Kobo Touch
does support scripting. It just doesn't, as far as I can tell, support scripts in
external files.

Is scripting an allowed option of the epub format? Would it still be an .epub file in other words.  |
To be precise, scripted ebooks are compatible with whatever devices offer scripting support
, which include some but not all readers advertising themselves as supporting epub3, including iBooks, Readium, VitalSource Reader, Calibre if you call that a reader, etc. Whether or not it's supported on a smartphone or tablet is not a question of whether it's a "higher-end" device, but whether the particular reader you're using on that device supports it.
Scripting is an
optional feature of epub3 implementations. Books using scripting are very much still epubs.
