: Re: Is epub 3 meant to replace epub 2? Will EPUB 2 remain an active standard now that EPUB 3 is out? More specifically: Should all new EPUB development use EPUB 3 regardless of the target platform

This was discussed in detail at the XML SummerSchool in Oxford last Sept [2013] and the consensus of experts and publishers was that EPUB3 is the way things are going, but some EPUB2 legacy is inevitable and needs to be managed.

As Anthon said, this may be done by embedding EPUB2 metadata into EPUB3 documents. However, most publishers are moving towards an automated (eg XSLT2) workflow, so creating both EPUB2 and EPUB3 versions at the same time is also possible, in order not to lose the market of existing EPUB2-only readership.
