What about epub? Under the hood it is basically html, but viewers know to treat it as a written work.

Epub is ok, but it has no support for math equations (practically all implementations just dump them into raster images) and HTML's typography leaves much to be desired.

There are plenty of good reasons why TeX and LaTeX are still the workhorse of scientific publishing in spite of the emphasis on fixed format layouts.

It's much more restricted than html, even less support for animations than pdf.
