My experience with ePub3 is that the file size is at least 10 times bigger, and it has more in common with a PDF than an ebook. (This was after purchasing the second part of book 2 of The Barrow by Mark Smylie on Drivethru.) After kicking up a fuss, Mark re-exported as ePub2 for those of us with eInk readers. It was fine reading it on my iPad, but a right pain on the Kobo.
Very likely a fixed layout epub3 which is, as you said, more like a PDF than a reflowable ebook format.
