And it's hard to explain to customers, especially ones with technical knowledge. Most times I do end up having to tell people "sorry, can't be done", but it's a shame when I have to do that because of something nonsensical like this.

Oh, man, I feel ya. I cannot tell you how many times some yutz (or yutzette; Yutzes are EEO positions) will get "sly" with me, after we've delivered their ePUB, (or pre-sale) interrogating me to be SURE that yeah, bygod, that we're going to give them an ePUB3 ePUB, not some old lame ePUB2 ePUB. (sigh). Whereupon I always ask them what vendors they think they're going to distribute to, given that some STILL do not support ePUB3, and or course,
many devices are not ePUB3-friendly or even viable. But, man, some other bozo someplace on the Net--someone with zero credentials, other than a screen name and nothing else--said that they MUST have an ePUB3. (ughghghghghghghgh).
Don't forget that Apple created iBooks, using the ADE engine,
for the iOS devices. It's only relatively recently that it was adapted and renamed for the desktops/laptops. K4PC/Mac doesn't work the same as a Fire tablet, either, so...just explain it simply--different devices, different capabilities. Like the difference between a TV with PIP, and one without. Both TVs; both will show you shows, but the HOW of how they show you shows, well...that's technological progress, right?
