Spot on
While I would probably never use Annotations, That feature is of great use to many as the need has existed since the first classroom
Having a
Standard to do that and allow a new universal 'Citation' that does not rely on a 'Page-Paragraph...' seems way more important.
IMHO EPUB3 exists as a method to
obsolete EPUB2 devices and create more sales of the 'Latest & Greatest'
I have an ancient (and 1/2 are now pretty obsolete
) set of Collier's on the shelf.
Not once have they made a sound (except when dropped). The pictures have not moved/changed in 30 years. There was no need, they are a snapshot in time.
Movies and Sound with text is
Multi-Media. That definition has been around long before e-
books. I am not saying 'Do Away with Multi-Media". I am saying "Leave the definition of a BOOK alone"
