Not sure if this is sarcastic but FYI:

Most books I saw were epub and pdf. They say epub is some XML, ok. But I don't see how the number of existing HTML based formats is relevant

Epub is HTML and CSS bundled in a zip file following a specific directory tree layout and containing a few metadata files.

Epub 3 is HTML5.

Open LibreOffice, create a doc, save it as Epub, and unzip the file. See for yourself.
