Unlike in a PDF  .
Sidebar: the ePub spec is a nightmare, if you can actually point me to something that does look like a standard, I'm mildly interested, because this comes up time and again in KOReader, and every time I look into it, the answer is still: waiting for the standard. |
I guess there's formatting standards and standards applied to those reading an ePub. I'm concerned with the latter. As is, if I buy an ePub from eBook.com or Google Books or even Kobo, I can copy the .ascm file to my Tolino or PocketBook, and download the book from the device. On either the PocketBook or Tolino, page numbers will be the same and the layout will be the same. If I buy from Smashwords (non-DRM) this "standard" will also apply to my Kobo, Sony, Tolino, PocketBook and Nook.
Unlike the Elipsa (which is marketed as a note taking device) I can mark-up and save the marked-up pages in my PocketBook Touch HD3 (and copy them to my computer). As far as I can I tell, I can do this with any format (except DjVu). (Mark up is not a feature I normally use.) This is why the limitations of the Elipsa seem really odd to me. It seems much more limited than a standard PocketBook reader. (I would like to test these features, but didn't bring the HD3 with me to Texas, so it will have to wait another 10 days or so.)
