Hello, While looking at the existing Library Bundle mechanism, I was wondering if it would be possible to bypass the Browser altogether and launch the catalog inside Read itself (for library bundles that have ebooks in them). If we use a zip archive format, with the following internal layout, it will be possible to load the catalog directly into Read (once I have support for the draft OPDS standard in Read):
. |-- books | |-- Verne - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.epub | |-- Verne - A Journey into the Interior of the Earth.epub | |-- Verne - Around the World in Eighty Days.epub | |-- Verne - From the Earth to the Moon.epub | `-- Verne - The Mysterious Island.epub `-- catalog.atom Only the catalog name needs to be constant (catalog.atom) - the books would be referenced from the catalog, along with optional thumbnail icons etc. This may be useful in scenarios where the deployment or a distributor wants to distribute multiple (but of a similar theme) books together (eg: beginning of the school session, books for a specific subject). Does this make sense ?
