This document summarizes a presentation about digital publishing and the adoption of EPUB 3 and the open web platform. It discusses how EPUB 3 builds upon web standards to provide structured, accessible content for digital and offline use. EPUB 3 supports features like fixed layout, rich media, and interactivity through its use of open web technologies. However, adoption has been slowed by the sufficiency of EPUB 2 for many uses and a lack of reading system upgrades. Overall support is growing, and the IDPF is working to deliver on EPUB 3's potential through documentation, tools, and collaboration with other organizations.
