thank you for your suggestions. I also fail in getting tw-receiver to work. Properly some issue with my hosting (htacces and permissions is checked).But I begin to think, that this is too much hassle. Maybe I just drop my file once in a while via ftp. It was a cool concept though.

Hi everyone,
TL;DR: Go to https://www.7switch.com/fr/ebook/9783962558772/great-expectations-serapis-classics, click on "Read an extract" and play with it. Then come back if you'd like to know more.
I have been working in the publishing industry for the past 25 years, including the last 10 years as the co-founder of a French ebook distribution company, immatériel.fr. Among many things that got me frustrated in the course of selling ebooks is the fact that ebook formats have never been in phase with how we have linked ourselves to knowledge in the two last decades.
The main reason for this particular failure is because ePub and Mobipocket were initially (around 2010) imposed to publishers by Apple and Amazon respectively, and became soon the only digital formats that publishers could sell to the main vendors (actually, Google Play Books also sells PDF books).
While there are other reasons to rant about the current state of the ebook market, I gave some thought about what could be a likeable modern format for eBooks, and as you guessed, TiddlyWiki checked all the boxes:
So we at immatériel.fr considered that this territory was worth exploring and we dedicated our 2019 R&D efforts into building a TW5 alternative format for customers who were regularly buying ePubs at our experimental bookstore 7switch.com. We had to move forward on two fronts in parallel:
So I asked Jeremy if he'd welcome a sponsoring for such a project through his company Federatial and, to my awe, he said yes of course! Parallely, since I wasn't sure of how we should render the typical book elements nor the typical features of an ebook reading app in a TW5 interface, I asked JD, one of our gifted community contributors to TW5 user interfaces, for ideas and preliminary tests.
Soon enough, the three of us had regular meetings, that eventually led to a preliminary release of several great open source products that are now embedded into every non-DRM books and extracts that you'll find at the 7switch ebookstore:

every once in a while, don't be surprised: you're looking at a work in progress.Please have a try with any non-DRM books (or their extracts) that you'll find on 7switch. Also try to drag and drop your own ePubs (in so-called Author Mode) to add books in these TW5 containers. And tell us what you think!
Thank you for having read so far :-)
Cheers,
Xavier.
