Epictetus wrote nothing; and all that we have under his name was written by an affectionate pupil, Arrian, afterwards the historian of Alexander the Great, who, as he tells us, took down in writing the philosopher’s discourses
As it happens, this annotation works through its proper URL) but, Hypothesis butchered the link. You need to turn the page once to see the highlight though.

“But wait—you could still release your book in EPUB [or some other open e-book format].” If you can show me an e-book format that gives me the same control over typography and layout that I can get in a web browser, I’ll consider it. As far as I know, it doesn’t exist. (If I’m wrong, please contact me.)Thus my option here is to use EPUB to make a typographically ugly book about typography. Do I want to make that? No. Do you really want to read it? I doubt it. A key point in why does typography matter is that typography influences reader attention. If you like this book, in part it’s because the typography is helping you enjoy it. If I remove the typography, I can already foresee the results.

students are not downloading texts in ePub format but, rather, as PDFs.
Interesting. Because they're easier (more familiar?) to work with?

if cross-format identifiers like DOIs are used, annotations made in one format (eg, EPUB) can be seen in the same document published in other formats (eg, HTML, PDF) and in other locations.
Whaa..? This sounds seriously hard. But remarkably clever.

multi-touch format books
Ah, therein lies the crux of the problem. “Multi-touch” is what sets iBooks apart from other formats (despite the fact that the ePub format allows for the same exact type of interaction).
-
deconstructed and re-created
Sounds like a time-consuming process, but maybe there’s value in chunking the content to be adapted to diverse contexts.
-
Deliver functionality allowing “backward-compatible” EPUB conversion of existing multi-touch format books.
May be challenging because of the restrictions placed on ePub, but it’s an interesting thought.

a consistent high-end user experience for multi-touch format books created by iBooks Author

Your exported Hype document should be 1024 width × 648 height or smaller.
Somehow, eBooks aren’t part of responsive design? Even in ePUB3?

All content, including the metadata links created in the authoring platform, is exportable into an XML manifest.
Sounds like ePUB without the full spec…

The EDUPUB Initiative VitalSource regularly collaborates with independent consultants and industry experts including the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), Tech For All, JISC, Alternative Media Access Center (AMAC), and others. With the help of these experts, VitalSource strives to ensure its platform conforms to applicable accessibility standards including Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Accessibility Guidelines established by the Worldwide Web Consortium known as WCAG 2.0. The state of the platform's conformance with Section 508 at any point in time is made available through publication of Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs). VitalSource continues to support industry standards for accessibility by conducting conformance testing on all Bookshelf platforms – offline on Windows and Macs; online on Windows and Macs using standard browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari); and on mobile devices for iOS and Android. All Bookshelf platforms are evaluated using industry-leading screen reading programs available for the platform including JAWS and NVDA for Windows, VoiceOver for Mac and iOS, and TalkBack for Android. To ensure a comprehensive reading experience, all Bookshelf platforms have been evaluated using EPUB® and enhanced PDF books.
Could see a lot of potential for Open Standards, including annotations. What’s not so clear is how they can manage to produce such ePub while maintaining their DRM-focused practice. Heard about LCP (Lightweight Content Protection). But have yet to get a fully-accessible ePub which is also DRMed in such a way.

Leaving the door open for eBooks? IDPF is part of the coalition after all and there are important connections with work done on ePUB3.

The W3C Annotation Working Group has a joint deliverable with the W3C Web Application Working Group called “Robust Anchoring”. This deliverable will provide a general framework for anchoring; and, although defined within the framework of annotations, the specification can also be used for other fragment identification use cases. Similarly, the W3C Media Fragments specification [media-frags] may prove useful to address some of the use cases. Finally, the Streamable Package Format draft, mentioned above, also includes a fragment identification mechanism. Would that package format be adopted for EPUB+WEB, that fragment identification may also come to the fore as an important mechanism to consider.
Anchors are a key issue. Hope that deliverable will suffice.
