And once again, the problem is not ePub itself, but the fact it's used badly.

It is frightening that you think you are making cogent points.
Publishers have historically done far more complex work than it takes to create professional PDFs. And it takes actually remarkable little effort to create
multiple PDFs for devices of multiple screen-sizes. In a day, professional PDFs could easily be created for as many as a dozen different screen sizes.
The solution to poor eyesight is the large-print edition. With PDF eBooks, they are precious little extra effort--so if publishers can manage the task with some print books, there is no reason they couldn't readily integrate the generation of large print editions (potentially automatically included/embedded in the regular edition) into their eBook workflow.
As for ePub (i.e.: reflow formats) not being the problem. As I pointed out to JSWolf, unless you are both a computer programmer and a typographer, you really lack the basis for forming sound opinions on the subject.
