I just thought I'd throw a monkey wrench into this observation, which is true, but...

I have a large publishing client who serves up their fixed-layout epubs so people can read them in a browser. The e-reader software itself knows how to deobfuscate fonts, but the IT department's security stuff interferes with it. So I have to deobfuscate every epub I deliver to them. (That's why I ended up reading this thread.)

As usual in ebooks, nothing is the way we all know it should be.
