As has been mentioned repeatedly, you don't need an epub3 reader to read most of the commercial epub3 books being sold. In fact, I'd wager to say that many people have already unwittingly purchased and read epub3 books. Especially those who just buy and read without fiddling with their books).

A strange stance to take, in my opinion. When, in the history of ever changing digital document formats, has it been considered necessary to actually NEED all of the features provided by a newer format, to utilize the newer format (especially when there's no real downside in using the latest)?
