Just for clarification sake (and possibly to add to the plugin description), because I don't think really a problem as I found a fairly easy workaround, as I will explain below...

I understand that this plugin currently supports only ePub2? I say that because I ran into an issue splitting an ePub I obtained -- the plugin refused to run with an error message saying that it requires ePub2. Digging into the internal structure of the problem ePub appears to indicate that it is in ePub3 format.

Fortunately, it turned out to be easy to work around this: I just converted ePub -> ePub which apparently turned the ePUb3 into an ePub2.

I have seen criticism of the ePub3 format as excessively complex and hard to implement, so I won't be surprised if the answer to the following question is "no", but anyway... are there any plans to add ePub3 support?
