Convert EPUB 2.0 to 3.0 and vice versa
Is it possible to convert EPUB 2.0 to 3.0 and 3.0 to 2.0 using Calibre?

Why would there be a need to convert an ePub 2 book to ePub 3? All ePub 3 readers can read ePub 2, and conversion would add nothing in the way of new functionality.

Exactly. Unless you plan to edit the book and add ePub3-specific functionality, it's a completely pointless endeavour.

Maybe this helps at least to better guess:
http://www.idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-changes.html I needed it for MATHML basically. Thanks for the plugin, BetterRed. I'll try it soon. |
