And that is epub.
PrinceXML as an application shows what can be done when someone wants to make an (X)HTML renderer that actually doesn't suck when it comes to typography. Sure, it could be even better, but it already has a
very nice line breaking algorithm.
The fact that no one has yet made a typographically pleasent epub Reading System doesn't mean it can't be done (and PrinceXML
proves it could be).
