    Epub, the most popular format, is a fucking website, not very efficient. And it even allows the author to set font size and stuff, i mean, use a pdf then.

      Except that a PDF isn’t dynamic. You’d be locked to whatever the page/text ratio was on every unique screen size. Not to mention all of the accessibility you lose because you can’t use a dyslexia-friendly font or increase the font size for bad eyesight.

      That’s all before we get into the performance hits. EPUB certainly has its place in the market.

        Yeah, i mean, why does the author need to be able to influence styling that much in a fucking ebook? That’s why, use a pdf then, if you want to force styling that much.

        Btw, there’s FictionBook. But some find it too limited?
