I explicitly said that the format isn't good
today And that i will reconsider that when we have good reading software.
And I don't care who is to blame, ePub often does not work correctly. I do have something else that does work, Mobi. The readers we have are something to read books on and not a hobby project to tweak and program in some geeky CSS language to get books to vaguely resemble each other on different readers, or worse get them readable in the first place.
Would you buy an electric car with a fuel cell because it is superior to an internal combustion engine? Yes it is superior (in theory) , but I won't buy that car because it can't be serviced in a normal garage and I cannot get my fuel in any standard place. That makes the superior solution unusable (today).

What more do you need than characters, fonts, italics and a toc? If you are not satisfied with that you can throw away about 90% of all paper books also.
And BTW ePub has more potential, but almost nobody is using this potential and if it is used you'll have a big change that it looks different on every reader. Even something simple as borders isn't handled on every reader in the same way.
Yes, ePub as potential,
No, it hasn't grown up yet. It was pushed to the market much to soon to get rid of Amazon. So now were are in the grip of a dozen bad Adobe versions.
