I definitely would not try to use EPUB3 functionality at this time. Give it a few years for it to gain more acceptance/support by reader vendors.
I agree. All of the designers are going gung-ho on EPUB3 so I think that more readers do accept them. Marvin reader for iPad doesn't. I did find that some of the readers I used would read the EPUB3 file if it had backward compatibility - a few months ago they would not read those at all. One designer said she just received a large quantity of EPUBS to convert to EPUB3 so I wonder if they are just directing them to a specific sellers or feel that a "hybrid" should work in most readers. Anyone? Thanks for the clarification about subtitles.
