    I’m not sure I understand, epub is both the industry standard and an open format, as far as I know. Why not work on using it or build it around epub from the get-go?

    I have to admit I’ll have to wait for the project to start implementing epub to consider getting on board, but it’s still a great effort.

      It looks like it is powered by a microcontroller. Maybe it isn’t powerful enough to support epub?

      Probably because the computational hardware is not powerful enough to implement a (proto) web browser

        It’s a raspberry pi pico. Ebooks could probably work with it on the new version.
