I suspect you're right in that anything noticeably better then what is currently available will be good enough for version 1, and it will only get better with the v2, v3, vx....hardware.

EPUB3 support, changing the way PDFs are built, that's like the hydrogen-powered car. Good idea but the infrastructure isn't there yet.
Most of these documents are currently on paper, and the layout used for paper often directly made into a PDF. That's what currently is being used, that's what must be supported now. But by all means, get the device ready to support epub3 and e-reader-optimized PDFs. They are more likely to build hydrogen filling stations if there are already hydrogen-capable cars around.....
