@JSwolf I wish that were true. Would make life much easier on us. But all indications are that it is not. I've been talking to the major pubs and they are all committed to EPUB3 transition this year. For trade, that is not all that meaningful in the short term. But for textbook, it may well be a big deal. And of course even in trade fixed layout is huge for children's books (because Apple forces that) - where children's books have been the largest increase in ebooks in 2012 (e.g. 130% increase compared to low double digits in adult) and Accessibility and Asian languages are another big driver of EPUB3. I'm not blowing smoke up your @ss. We have to move now, or get left behind.
