I wouldn't go that far, but...

If you type "Bootstrap" into Amazon's search box, you get books with Bootstrap in the title. I'd like to find an ePub that actually uses Bootstrap. I'd simply like to see what you can do with Bootstrap in an ePub, plus it would be nice to have a book that I can use as a model if I decided to go for it.
I, personally, would be ecstatic to be able to use BS in the eBooks, (as I had to learn it for my own website) but...ixnay. Doesn't work. Not supported, as far as I know.

I asked a question about Bootstrap about a year ago, and it looks like the situation hasn't changed much - it's cutting edge technology that isn't supported by most ePub readers. But I'd like to take a closer look and see what the possibilities are.
"....supported by" ANY "eReaders." Slight correction. I mean, sure, some desktop, browser-based readers MIGHT support it, but devices? As far as I know, none. Zip, zein, zero, zilch.

Quote:
If I understand correctly, there's a "fallback" feature that minimizes the possibility of an advanced ePub crashing on devices that don't support it. Another possibility is to create two versions of the same book - one for generic ePub readers and a more advanced version for ePub3 readers.
A fallback feature, of Bootstrap? Where did you see that? Or are you discussing media queries?

Quote:
The learning curve will probably be steep for me to tackle it, but, again, I'd like to explore some possibilities.

Thanks.
I'm sure we all would love it if eBooks supported Bootstrap, it would greatly improve the table situation. But unless I've really missed a gigantic step, this is not supported.
