Exactly. ePub can be improved. Fist thing to do being to kick adobe drm out of the way, along with ade .
ePub rendering with ade is prety lame. I have a pdf with some "first-letter" in my css, sigil renders them right, ade don't... What a shame.
Mobi rendering when fine, ade makes a mess.

ahi, do you think publisher can make multiple version of pdf ? They can't edit even one version properly !
And, if you don't see the point of changing font size, you'll change your mind when your eyes gets old and you don't see that well anymore.
And once again, the problem is not ePub itself, but the fact it's used badly.
