Re: [Minutes] Publishing Community Group Meeting - Aug 10, 2022

At the end of the day it’s up to the producer of the EPUB.

If they want something fully self-contained, the standard will let them do that.  If they want something that use links to external content, the standard will let them do that.

Of course, whether a given EPUB distribution system will support/allow external content or whether a given reading system will support it, is another question.  But all of that is outside the scope of the standard.

RE> 750mb file size limit.  Bear with me.  I'm a retired database guy.
Why can't epubs be text only, with resource URLs to streamed images and video on remote servers?

When I ask this question I'm invariably told "It won't work without a wifi connection!"

My answer is "So what?"  I'm almost never away from wifi unless I'm driving. And in that case I shouldn't be reading anyway.  Are you on a camping trip?  Read now, view video later.  Video is too big to store on a phone.  Video should be streamed. No matter what.
