In terms of actual specs conformance, I don't know how different they are -- and I claim no expertise -- but I can see why ebooks should cause a lot more grief simply due to the inherent decentralization and non-specificity of design.

Oh, I understand that, and I agree, but I was making an analogy with web design, I wasn't saying that they're exactly the same in the regard that you're saying, but rather in a different sense. My point before was directed at others saying that I should get rid of my iPad and get a "real" e-reader, and that everyone out there using iPads should get the same -- well, you can't just get "everyone" to do that, just as with web design one can't expect the whole world to stop using IE.
And so...
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the epublishing experience and know-how to make a difference.
