I agree.

At present, the best would be Epub2 due to the the massive number of reading devices (software and hardware) that can interprest this format.

It is difficult for me to wrap my head around the lack of EPUB3 reader compatibility.
I mean it's just HTML5 (XHTML5 actually). Most all web browsers of any note can display that just fine.
So what's the big deal?
If they can display that then there should be readers galore that are able to do the same thing using whatever major browser rendering engine they care to use.
I am rather surprised by the lack of readers for EPUB3.
I mean the only other thing besides being able to render HTML5 (XHTML5) are the fancy keys that one can use to navigate what one is seeing and the uncompression and deciphering of the EPUB (again no big deal).
I just don't see what the big deal is about creating readers that can read HTML5 and display it in a nice interface. I'd create one myself if I was inclined to spend the time to create one but I have other things on my plate just now.
But I have made the switch back to EPUB2 and updated my scripts to reflect that change yesterday.
