Is the ePub format attainable at all?
0
I saw the poll for digital formats a while back, and was wondering if it's possible to have ePub versions of Fakku books. I know that reception was lukewarm at best, but I for one would love the option. If it's too difficult to code, I understand, but I would like some feedback to this inquiry.

So let's get a few things straight: EPUB is basically stripped down HTML and CSS. Besides the clusterfuck that CSS inherently is, EPUB has its own quirks dealing with how pages are separated. Plus, there's no discernible advantage to using EPUB over PDF or CBR. EPUB was made for adaptive formatting but when you're compiling page-separated image files there's no point to that as there'd be hard page breaks anyways.
I'm really not sure where EPUB would be useful. Any ebook reader will support PDF and if you have a phone there's plenty of CBZ readers out there for whatever OS you're on. Perfect Viewer is what I use on android. ComicRack works well on iOS. iBooks and Google Play support PDF out of the box.
It's not that EPUB is impossible, it's simply not worth the effort when there's simpler formats for comics out there.

Couldn't have said it better myself!
