Gee, I don't know how I could possibly take offense to that, to be told that my
professional opinion doesn't count (and yes, I was a professional web designer, working for clients, with many, many websites under my belt, for more than a decade-and-a-half) because I'm just a "hobbyist." :/ Y'know, I might have only gotten into publishing ebooks over the last couple of years, and might have only two published books so far (with four more on the way), but that doesn't mean that I'm not serious about what I do, nor that I'm incompetent at it.
We all have things we can learn from others -- we
all do, Hitch, even
you -- even from mere "hobbyists."

It's a major inconvenience to the rest of us, because we have to work around the "wrong" ways of iBooks all the time, to try to allow our myriad clients to have books that will work on ALL fronts, even to the extent of making 2 (or now 3) ePUBs for different platforms. That's really not quite the same thing as tweaking code to ensure that it works, however much of a kluge, across Internet Exploder, Chrome, FF, etc. Just a point.

I beg to differ -- if you ask me, it's
exactly the same thing, the issues with designing for different ebook platforms are perfectly analagous to designing web pages for different platforms. I can't think of a better analogy than that one, in fact.
