Just chiming in to say that I'm very keen on these kind of explorations. For those of us using TiddlyWiki everyday there's a natural tendency to focus on improvements to the rough edges that we bump against frequently. But re-imagining the basic reading experience is also very important if we are to improve it. My goal with TW is to enable somebody like Alex to be able to directly build prototypes that demonstrate and explore his ideas - the digital textbook example looks pretty easy to implement as a "disassociated slider" (a spontaneous neologism for where the button and the revealed content are separate from one another).
