TiddlyWiki on eBook reader?

[FrancescoD]

Would it be possible to convert a TiddlyWiki into a form readable on an eBook reader -while preserving its linked structure? It would be wonderful.  

I have found a thread discussing the possibility of converting eBooks to Wikis, but no one seems to have considered the opposite; maybe because it's trivial, in which case I hope you'll endure my ignorance (and give me anyway a hint on how to do it).

There are a couple of aspects to this.

Firstly, if you only want read-only access, I would think that several - if not all - of the e-book platforms would already handle this. All it requires is a decent browser with Javascript support.

However, if you want to be able to update and save - that is problematic. This is because of the security models implemented by the various browsers to try and prevent Javascript from having access to the local file system. It is very likely that the mobile browsers will not support this capability.

All I can say is - be careful what platform you choose! Something like the Nook is likely to be upgradable to support TW saving as it is built around Android. iOS devices are served by Chris's TWedit application that wraps a standard framework (PhoneGap) around your TW files that enables access to the file system.

Seeing would be something. 

Unfortunately, it seems not everyone supports it: the Nook, for instance, neither has a browser nor lists HTML as a supported file type. But I guess I could choose one that does have this capability for not much more. 

More intresting is that after some further reasearch, I found out that the Nook being actually Android can be rooted, and can have Android apps installed. So I could put there AndTidWiki, that would be perfect!

Could this be done? Has anyone tried it before?

Thanks for answering!

Well so, it does have a browser; you say viewing would work? But this is Nook Color, I was thinking of the B/W version... the cost almost doubles between them!
