Just when you thought you had it all figured out… a major revision to EPUB, the defacto eBook format standard, arrives.

Chartered with updating the standard, the EPUB 3 Working Group, with members such as Apple, Google and Adobe, has spent over a year debating. The new, expanded version includes significant changes that make enhanced eBooks more approachable and affordable, including:

• More rich media enhancements (audio, video)
• Now based in HTML5 and CSS3
• Better support for fonts, styling and languages
• JavaScript for interactivity
• Greater flexibility for references and linking
• Broader support for metadata

The improved standard raises many questions for publishers, such as “Is EPUB 3 backwards compatible with our EPUB-based eBooks?  Are the eReader manufacturers supporting the new standard?  How will it affect our customers’ reading experience?”
