But because of Sony, we have to have ePub that has to work on their readers. We don't get to use new features or fixed bugs as we have to now dgo with the lowest common denominator which is ADE on the Sony Reader 300, 500, 505, 600, & 700. So do you think it's a good thing to allow Sony to keep ePub stagnant for everyone? It's not just for Sony users that it needs to be updated. It's for any user of ADE.

So let's say that Adobe fixed ADE so it's 100% compliant and has no bugs. Do we want to not take advantage of that because some company doesn't care about updating the ADE on their reader?
