I've never seen an epub with javascript ability. I know PDFs can have some ability, but I don't think I've ever seen an example of one. The problem is that javascript could be used in theory to hack a system, so adoption has been slow.
Each tiddler adds 100 to 200 bytes of overhead, depending on additional fields and tags. That book you mentioned must have been huge. Unless my math is off, or your paragraphs are really small, it could be 10 to 20 megs. Even Moby Dick is only 1.2 megs Text compresses really well. Thinking out loud, I wonder if there could be a Tiddler Template to decompress text. Then huge books could be packed into a TW. You would view the content through a viewer page that would display the content normally. -- Mark On Tuesday, May 9, 2017 at 7:16:33 AM UTC-7, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Ciao Mark S. > > I agree that "chunking" is the central issue on performance.
