Because of this variability of scripting support among reading systems, an EPUB with scripting should strive to also be useful on a system that can’t handle the scripting. Liza Daly’s chapter on interactivity in the aforementioned EPUB 3 Best Practices makes an especially clear case for “progressive enhancement.” Too often, publishers start with the whiz-bang version and then struggle to figure out what happens when there is neither whiz nor bang. The progressive enhancement design principle, instead, starts with the most accessible version as the primary version, and then builds up to the jazzy one. This makes it far more likely that the resulting EPUB will be viable in more systems.
