This is great news, but I can’t believe Pages (or at least Preview) can’t read the ePub documents it creates. What’s the least crappy ePub reader for OS X?
I know that iBooks uses what amounts to a UIWebView and ePub uses a subset of HTML. I’m curious how close to the ePub standard Pages actually exports, or whether it adds non-standard bits that look great in Pages but break in Stanza et al.
It’s awesome to see ePub output in a consumer-focused tool, regardless. I just hope it doesn’t marginalize readers that aren’t iBooks.
This is great news, Jeffrey. And with your tidbit about viewport metadata the other day, I think I am off to do some tinkering…
