There has been lots of discussion about this without much resolution. To my 
knowledge the only result of these discussions is that it isn't reasonable 
to make something that lets you navigate to a chunk smaller than a single 
tiddler because in order to do that you end up making an object that has 
all the properties of a tiddler and you end up back where you started.

With that said, in specific situations it may be desirable to make 
different behaviour using a plugin or something.

In the case of books many people (including me) have looked into this a lot 
and I think that the answer may be to create a story view that displays a 
set of tiddlers in order to give a chapter-by-chapter or page-by-page view 
of the book, then to reach the next chapter or page the tiddlers that are 
displayed are all changed at once. This way you can still navigate to a 
single paragraph because it will be its own tiddler, but when you navigate 
to it instead of opening just that tiddler it gives you the full 
page/chapter that it belongs to.

I don't think that anyone has gone much farther than just describing this. 
In the book he is working on Eric made a lot of nice tools for presenting a 
tiddlywiki in book form, but I haven't played with it myself so I don't 
know if his work applies here. I don't think this is really what he was 
working on making.

Unfortunately now that I have a job I actually like I spend much less time 
playing with new tiddlywiki things. I may look at this a bit and see if I 
can throw together a quick prototype that maybe someone else can polish 
later tonight since this keeps coming up. Regardless of what form the 
solution takes, putting together a book is probably going to be a 
significant amount of work because all of the tiddlers are going to need to 
be labeled and tagged correctly to make the organisation and ordering fit 
what is wanted.
