Personally, given how many broken links I've encountered on the web, I think self-contained epub3 with embedded video would actually be ideal for instruction manuals, etc. Problem is other than Apple Books, what other reading platforms have epub3 video support? E-ink is out. Just too slow.
epub3 is primarily a zipped website and most browsers can open local files just fine. And at least one common browser already knows how to open epub without plugins.

Why not just use a perfectly ordinary tablet/laptop/desktop?
Just feed it a zipped website. Or an epub3 if you think the added metadata matters that much.
All the pieces are out there. If you think it's useful, just do it.
