Status of EPUB Previews Spec

Open dauwhe opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

EPUB Previews 1.0 is a recommended spec from 2015.

I'm asking the usual questions: Has this been implemented by reading systems? Used by content creators?

At least most of the large trade reading systems automatically generate previews, and publishers are happy not to worry about it :)

We don't implement Previews, and don't think we've ever seen any content marked up that way.

PRH expressed interest in this, citing the need for hand-created previews for FXL titles and books with audio/video.
