Not all texts published in the epub format come from the commercial book selling sector, increasing numbers come from the not-for-profit sector (.gov, .org, .edu etc) or they're public-domain documents from the private sector. The number of non-commercial-book epub publications may now exceed the number of commercial epub/kindle publications. As has been the case for paper, pdf etc for years.

My observation is that some of these works are much more carefully coded that just about any commercial book I've seen, especially fictional works. Next time I come across one that uses <em> for semantic italics and <i> for typographical italics I'll send you the link. I think I've seen them in ECB and/or EIB publications.
