Is there any way to sell it as an ePub 3 saying it is not ePub 2 compatible? Not that I know of currently. That's the problem. The problem with ePub 3 is that is that rubbish they added in which is why ePub 3 has not been all that widely accepted.
I do not understand your point. If I want to be read with old devices I have to use only ePub2. But ePub2 is not the "state of the art" in digital publishing: it is *really* a poor standard. EPUB3 also is not the "state of the art", but when I build an ebook I have to think if the content I want to communicate to users could work better in EPUB3, if the users I'm thinking of uses tablet or desktop.
I do not love EPUB3, but I do not love ePub2. If e-ink eraders could have a good support of EPUB3 I could build more interesting ebooks.
