New Tor eBooks are being produced as ePub 3. None of the ePub 3 I have seen are using any ePub 3 features that would cause them to fail with an ePub 2 rendered unless that renderer was checking if the ePub was ePub 2 and not allowing ePub 3.

These ePub 3 do not use any features that will not work with an ePub 2 renderer. If these publishers producing ePub 3 do start using features not compatible there will be hell to pay as there really aren't enough programs out there and in use that would render these features. It would be rather idiotic for these publishers to produce an ePub 3 eBook that would not work with the current ePub 2 rednerers out there. There are a lot of RMSDK that is pre-ePub 3 still in use today.
