I'm in academic book publishing, and our books have a lot of charts and diagrams that are challenging to display on certain readers that have poor SVG support.

I'm in academic book publishing, and our books have a lot of charts and diagrams that are challenging to display on certain readers that have poor SVG support. Also, tables can easily be larger than the readers can comfortably handle, and certain readers (yeah, looking at you, Kindle) suck at it. You'd think there would not be such a great difficulty in this, since epubs are constructed out of the same basic tech stack as web pages. I think the fundamental problem is that Amazon, Apple, etc., don't have much incentive to support texts beyond the most commercial genres.
