@gebloom Ah, well. I guess some context is missing. Basically the W3C, along with a bunch of publishing types have been trying to get a specification for Web Publications off the ground that was intended to replace EPUB and make ebooks more web-like.
It didn't work www.w3.org/TR/wpub/
@baldur I see, maybe a PDF-like standard for the Web and eBooks. Amazon is behaving like 90s Microsoft on the eBook front, while Google behaves like 90s Microsoft on the Web end.
