An EPUB ebook Reader, possible?

[octw]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it is easy to adapt TiddlyWiki to an EPUB ebook
Reader. EPUB is the most popular format for open ebook format which is
supported by Apple, Google, Sony, B&N and many others.

I'm thinking the functions as these:

1. Read the .epub file, unzip it, save into TiddlyWiki;
2. Read the TOC into MainMenu;
3. Every chapters and sections save as individual tiddlers;
4. Can read the content like Apple iBook Reader. Swiping (not
scrolling) the page from page one all the way to the end by clicking
the next page.

In this way, the book and the reader are only one file.

cheers,
octw

That's a really neat idea. I'd love to see (and use!) an ebook importer as well

Hi octw,

something like this is absolutely possible. Last year, I wrote
rePublish[1], which isn't integrated with TiddlyWiki, but does the
ePub unzipping and breaking into pages in javascript. This code could
be adapted to put the chapters (or pages) into tiddlers.

Another interesting possibility would be to extract the book, but
layer TiddlyWiki on over top, so that the book can be annotated with
tiddlers. Let us know if you try any experiements!

It looks great. But I can't make it work to open ANY book listed in
the index.html...
:(

Which browser are you using? It probably won't work on Internet
Explorer, but should work on recent versions of Firefox / Chrome /
Safari.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.16. But it does work in Chrome. Well done.
