A well formed EPUB2 should work on most devices.

Designing FOR e-ink just takes into considerations of the limitations of color (8 or 16 shades of grey), screen size/DPI

My issue is demanding High resolution Color, Motion and Audio in a BOOK.

I agree, some books come in Hi Res Color (most live on the coffee table under the cat ) In those cases, PDF and my tablet are King, but most novels I read only have Color on the cover.
