As someone said ePub3 would default to ePub2 on non ePub3-able eReaders, then either I loose the extra content, which appears to be the earth's omphalos, or, tricky, if there is nothing to loose, then what's the purpose of having ePub3 in the first place...
That's not quite right. The premise of this thread is that publishers are making ePub 3 eBooks that don't need to be ePub 3 because they have no ePub 3 specific features. These are the ePub 3 that will work on your T1. There aren't that many ePub 3 eBooks that need software to render ePub 3.
