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.

The thing is, RMDSk (ADE) is most used for reading ePub. The problem is that you won't know the version in use. You cannot assume the latest version or that the person reading your eBook will even be able to update. A lot of Readers in use have a fixed version of RMDSK (because they are no longer supported). So by using an interactive ePub 3 eBook, you will be cutting out a lot of potential customers. I have not seen a bookstore's website that's able to specify that the eBook is ePub 3 and is not ePub 2 compatible. The ePub 3 being made these days is backwards compatible but it sounds like yours would not be.
