G'day Mobil Home, To me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a static PDF until I find myself bouncing around a lot between pages because something on Page X causes me to go back to Page X - Y, and I find myself trying to follow a thread in my head that the PDF isn't supporting.
That's when the ability to see extra information related to the current page, without leaving the current page, is oh-so-awesome. Whether it be with simple things like modals or reveal widgets or tabs, or some other add-on mechanisms to see extra "stuff". i.e. the ability to take a short non-linear side-trip within the greater linear journey. That reminds me of a bit from this lecture by Ted Nelson, starting around at the 8:11 mark and to the 13:30 mark : https://youtu.be/9FqVqZXUFUQ?t=491 Sure, when writing a book in TiddlyWiki, you can certainly provide different sequences for content, but that gets hard trying to imagine different sequences. Much easier to provide just one linear journey, but if you think of different linear journeys: cool. To me, nothing wrong with just one linear journey, but the ability to take those short non-linear side-trips without losing the contextual milestone of the greater journey, that is the dynamic goodness of TiddlyWiki over static PDF. Hmm. I think that turned into a philosophical projectile rant rather than actual help. Oops? (Crap: now I have "Oops, I did it again" stuck in my sponge...)
