ePUB is way too complicated to avoid compatibility issues. The standard requires lots of support and anything short of a full browser on a computer with a 2 GigaHertz processor and 1 Gig of RAM will not be able to support it fully. Certainly the class of devices currently being used as eBook readers are way under powered to support ePUB fully the way it is defined.
