TeX is massively more complex than ePuB, and includes an awful lot of things which an e-reader generally does not to worry about, but it would have to handle in a TeX render, adding to the rendering cost. TeX also has an awful lot of quirks suited to its target markets, which simply don't apply to ebooks.

A specalised subset of TeX might be appropriate, but not TeX itself. And I don't see anyone trying to build that subset. Also, you should be aware of the ambiguous wording problem of the TeX liscence, which won't pass many big companies legal departments.

Trying to apply old print soloutions to ebooks produces a variety of issues, and it's far better that for-ebook format formats be used, and improved. It won't take twenty years to get for ebooks to reasonable quality standards, unless people insist that pbook standards are used litterally for them.

ahi - yep, you keep pushing fixed-sized pages which I'll pay maybe a third of a nice, reflowing format for. Because that's all they're worth to me.
