- It differs slightly from paper-destined workflows.
- Typesetters and graphical designers (yes, illustrations, too) like that control over the medium.
- You get justification and full hyphenation, they are defined by limitations of your tools, not epub implementation on the device.
- Licensing for embedded fonts is already solved.
- There is only one version, "download for Sony Reader" (or bigger devices).
Compared to Sony BBEB or ADE ePub DRMed content that we see these days, such a book would look gorgeous, and the only inconvenience for the end user is inability to increase font size.
The perverse truth is that single DRM scheme used for ePub at this time, ADE, comes with PDF as a lure, too.
