What is the problem with people not wanting to do pdfs in these situations? Sized for the smaller windows, they will have the exact layout. They sure are a heck of a lot less work...a printer driver will do anything that can be printed on paper.
When making a publication for tablets, why bother with epubs? So much work for so little gain. Must be the fad of the year, I guess.
Don't get me wrong, I love epubs in my Sony Reader whose battery lasts a week or two between charges and is scarcely larger than a trade paperback and holds 300 books. For the others, as I said, why bother?
In the above case, a text pdf would not have been gigantic either, but the disreputable so and so's would have just done what they did to make a giant epub, make an image only pdf.
