I can't agree more on this issue.  I'm disapointed that this isn't to be included in version 1.  I'm not sure that it is sufficient to say that software is being sold to practice on until version 2 is released.  I am a long term Serif supporter and remain so, but I do believe that it is most important to recognise what customers want to produce and give us the tools to create it.  The modern world is into e-publishing and the tools for incorporating some form of motion/video graphics are, I imagine, a fairly standard requirement these days.  It shouldn't be necessary to load pages created in Affinity into free software in order to add such features in documents. The same goes for being able to save in epub and html formats.  I might be wrong, but weren't all these features available in pre-Affinity Serif software as they were developed to meet recognised evolving demands?   

Though the .pdf format can be used for publishing e-books, my understanding is that it has limitations for this purpose. I would expect that many, if not most people want to publish e-books these days, or create web pages rather than create files for printing. That's not to suggest that the printed page is no longer important.  I just don't understand why other epublishing formats and HTML have been ignored with Affinity Publisher, especially as they were available in Page Plus. In this respect it's as if with Affinity Serif has taken a step back.  When free and low cost software offer a wider range of export formats, is it unreasonable to hope that Serif will address this issue while still developing version 1 of publisher, or am I just missing the point?
