To my knowledge, no evidence has been shown that there's an inherent price increase for books being sold in the EPUB3 format today.

Granted, my personal experience is primarily with the crap-ton of commercial, reflowable novels available in the EPUB3 format. But even with FXL, the price increase isn't really inherent to the spec/format... I assume it's in the considerable amount of extra work involved. Which would probably be the case even if EPUB2 had its own Fixed-layout specs, no?

EDIT: never mind. I can see by your previous post that we're on the same page primarily.
