Just to cut through the noise. They can be seen here http://infogridpacific.typepad.com/using_epub/2010/06/surviving-the-transition-to-digital-publishing.html The technology development is a mechanical given. Apps, ePub, or anything else, it has to track current device capabilities, and the willingness of publishers to pay. The future of digital content for publishers to stop thinking about formats and the games being played by Amazon, Apple and Google, et.al., and start thinking about getting their content into a digital content strategy that is ready for anything the world throws at them. Especially small and medium publishers. From a publisher's perspective it doesn't matter what Steve Jobs or anyone else says, its what they do. The imperative is to get content ready for an uncertain digital future. It is going to be XHTML/XHTML5... there is nothing else on the horizon. And even if something else arrives, a coherent XHTML content strategy will ensure any publisher has the option of moving to whatever comes. Creating and distributing content in formats and apps today is not a digital strategy for even the next 12 months.

As the app developer community is honing its Objective C skills, I'd be very interested to hear more from you on how content providers can best avoid locking their content in an (albeit massive) proprietary channel, and take advantage of all other platforms that are available - most significantly Android - without having to re-invent the wheel. Perpaps in a future contribution ;-) Very good status quo overview, Samir.
