An ebook needs a compatible reader and compatible hardware. A simple easy to author multimedia app just needs suitable HW. Almost everything EXCEPT dedicated ereaders.

Points of view. As I wrote Apps are more expensive in middle/long term. And, yes, we have a long story of multimedia contents: how many of those contents from 10/20 years ago are still usable? Apps are hardware-relate and hardware is changing continuously. And EPUB3 uses open standard: how many flash contents are gonna die in 2020? I think EPUB3 could be used for contents that have video inside and it could be last longer than other apps or formats.
Oblivious this is a personal point of view.
