@cdegroot @pesco @OpinionatedGeek @amoroso epub is the *worst*. i have tended to just bodge my epubs until they pass epubcheck. even then i get bug reports about ebook readers that do weird things with the file.
epub: a format that means books need patch releases.

@davidgerard @pesco @OpinionatedGeek @amoroso On the upside, we _can_ do patch releases for it. I'm "blessed" with truly bad myopia, so I can put a PDF on my e-reader and press the thing against my nose and have a nice page in full view :-). I stopped buying epubs for tech books, PDF works much better (and if I don't want to look silly, I have a Boox large-format reader). But the industry, and readers, expect it, alas.
