With that out of the way:
Does anybody know exactly what the "advanced epub" is? |
Advanced ePub is rubbish. It's not needed at all. It's just going to confuse a lot of people. What Advanced ePub is is ePub3 with no backward comparability. There's no need for it since the content is the same as the Comparable ePub. There is nothing advanced about it.
As for well formatted. Not at all.They have huge paragraph spaces and the section breaks are a full line going across the entire page. Then we have the text left justified. And the cover is not programmed to be displayed. So the first page is a titlepage. They look awful because they are awful. They really need to fix the formatting.
OK, I figured out why the formatting is so bad. It's because they have error(s) in the CSS and in that case. ADE ignores the CSS. This is why there formatting is lousy. They need to make the CSS actually valid. RMSDK (ADE) is the most used for displaying ePub and if they are going to botch the CSS, they may as well shut down until they learn CSS.
