Actually, the number of devices that support a very basic, multi-media-free EPUB3 is quite large. Any device that's based on RMSDK (and I'm not talking about cutting-edge versions) is quite capable of displaying one.
I'm not saying EPUB3 is something everyone should switch to, but in my experience, not needing multimedia is actually a reason to consider
using EPUB3 rather than a reason
against it. A basic xhtml epub3 is compatible with RMSDK, Amazon, and iBooks.
A big chunk of the commercial epubs I buy/read these days are ADE-encrypted EPUB3s. *shrug*
