Actually, *Great Expectations* was just an example of an already published book. You could find thousands of other examples at the 7switch bookstore. If you buy a non-DRM book, you'll get 3 formats : ePub + Mobipocket + TW5. If you just want to read a free extract, you'll get it in TW5 only. > 2 - *EPUBBLE FORMAT? *I'd like to understand Epubble better. > > The plugin says "The epubble format packages publications as a > TiddlyWiki plugin.

Only the non-semantic ToC information is used for now. 4 - "*Bookmark reading points?*" --- Just a comment. I may try adding a > bookmark system as annotation.

We probably should embed this feature by default. Other than that, we get the same limitations imposed by the browser to TiddlyWiki when saving the file on your local filesystem.
