Unfortunately not the case. I liked PostScript, I wrote a Japanese manuscript paper generator in it... a long time ago

It has both.

It's because of DRM. The EPUB reader software is by Adobe, each reader brand just builds their own user interface on top of it, but basically you can't separate the core functionality of Adobe DRM / EPUB / PDF support.

With Kobo you get EPUB3 support in a way, but it's KEPUB, their own format, their own DRM solution, ...

Now why Adobe did not add support for EPUB3 ages ago, who knows? Instead they created a new more secure DRM... thanks for nothing
