ePUB 3 ist keine einfache Weiterentwicklung des jetzt noch aktuellen ePUB 2-Standards. ePUB 3 ist eher eine kleine Revolution. Wenn man sagt, dass ein ePUB eine gepackte Webseite ist, dann ist ePUB 2 eine mit sehr alter Technik, also XHTML und Teilen aus CSS 2.1 und ohne die Mglichkeiten von JavaScript. ePUB 3 hebt den Standard auf eine Stufe mit dem, was in der heutigen Webwelt passiert. Wir haben HTML5, weit mehr Mglichkeiten im CSS (auch wenn CSS3 nicht vollstndig Teil des ePUB 3-Standards ist). Ich habe versucht in dem Bild mit den vielen Kreisen den ePUB 3-Standard zu skizzieren. Das IDPF ist sich treu geblieben. ePUB ist weiterhin ein best of bread- Ansatz. Es werden bestehende, bewhrte Standards zu einem neuen Standard zusammengefhrt. (tags: epub ebooks html5 css3)
