I totally agree with DiapDealer, but when Philips decided not to release certain content on the superior VCC recorders, the market chose the lower quality brand that did release that content. Why would a simple digital copy of a paper book suffice without the additional digital options, giving the digital reader a completely different experience?
In a culture of sixes at school, it is enough to pass with only sixes instead of tens. As a buyer of a six culture-based dominant EPUB reader, there is no way of knowing beforehand how well or how badly that new model follows the EPUB standard.
If you want to create content for an EPUB, you have no idea what to avoid (well video is definitely, but probably not the only thing) which is asking for trouble, in today's sixes culture for EPUB readers.
There is simply no website that provides an objective comparison for EPUB readers and applications. The introduction date also says nothing about the (im)possibilities here. What I like is that the developers of Sigil are better and probably more likely to release a new bug fix release than the Firefox developer community.
