I've been told that Amazon's Kindle Cloud Reader uses CSS Regions if available, 
and gets a significant performance boost. It has a fallback though.

Also, it would be worth checking at least Apple's iBooks store for any content 
that might have used regions. It would be a shame if purchased books stopped 
working :)
