Hi Mark, Well I was trying to talk in black-box terms here, but I can see that isn’t sufficient information for you as inquiring minds always want to know. It really shouldn’t hurt if I reveal the third party anyway.
I have an enhanced eBook with an embedded video in it. I was able to publish it to Apple’s iTunes store in the EPub 3 format just fine, without having to resort to using iBooks Author to create the book. The plus side of that is I don’t have an exclusive obligation to Apple if I do it that way, and I can publish the book elsewhere. So the next good place to publish the eBook would be to Amazon.com <http://amazon.com>. Unfortunately, they want their books to use the .mobi format. That format does not allow embedded content such as videos etc. You have only one way to share enhanced content and that’s by giving out a URL link to one’s web content. That URL is a fixed link in the book once it’s published, and will always go to the same place. So yes, I could painfully decide not to publish to Amazon.com <http://amazon.com> but I’d rather not have to not use them as they are pretty big. Now you can understand my problem and my attempted solution. Thank you for your input!

I can't be that e.g. Apple sells music, while everybody is able to download the content once it has been bought by one person. Can you tell the name of that third party?
