in fact, i just noticed this link on the
idpf site :
EPUB Support from list of Publishers : An Open Letter from AAP to IDPF, dated May 12, 2008.
an excerpt :
Quote:
To our colleagues at the IDPF:
The EPUB subcommittee of AAP’s Digital Issues Working Group1 has been working to provide support to the publishing community on the EPUB initiative. We are therefore writing to express our support for the use of EPUB as an e-book file type for reflowable texts from which any e-book delivery format can be rendered. Many publishers already want to begin a transition process toward this use of the EPUB file format and hope that such a transition can be completed by October 2008.

a note at the bottom states :
"AAP’s EPUB subcommittee of the Digital Issues Working Group is comprised of members from the following publishing companies: Penguin Group USA, HarperCollins Publishers, Cambridge University Press, Pelican Publishing Company, Inc., John Wiley & Sons Inc., National Science Teachers Association, Hachette Book Group USA, Oxford University Press, Random House, Seattle Book Company/Rosetta Solutions, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, Harlequin Enterprises Ltd., Workman Publishing, CQ Press, and Cengage Learning."
as you can see, epub is off to a very good start.
