So no, Help and Documentation could very well be the same think. Just

You confuse the structure (and content) of documentation with the file type.

Not at all.

Sorry, you obviously do :-(

When you write a book, you can store it in Word, HTML, PDF or whatever
format you like. But such a book will hardly be usable for context sensitive
help. Likewise you can merge all help topics into one document, but I'd not
call the result a "book".

And this is where you are wrong. INF can serve both purposes without
problems (hence the reason I chose it for fpGUI). I reviewed a lot of
help file / ebook-type formats before I settled on INF.

There exist good and bad books. It's primarily a matter of content, how useful a book is - you cannot really improve the quality of a digital book by visual effects.
