ePub books being able to produce professional output in practice would be even more impressive. Until then, ePub's ill-conceived lauding will just keep forcing the eBook industry to continue to wallow in its much prolonged infancy.

On the other hand, Adobe's "packaging" that supports both ePub and PDF is a step in a tolerable direction. A format capable of encapsulating PDF as well as other formats is an acceptable, if needless, compromise.
