EPUB?

  Which is just basic HTML and CSS itself.

    Yeah but it's a decent subset. Most of the complaints of the author should be significantly better
    • jacobmischka 5y ago
      It would be better if they just used that subset and just published it directly instead of needlessly repackaging it, but if that's what was meant then sure. Maybe we need a better name for simple, semantic HTML and basic CSS.

        The point of it is to be a self-contained package. You still need hardware to read it, but not a server. In theory at least, once you have it, it's yours. (of course the commerical ebook vendors are trying to spoil that.)

      No, it still supports plenty of trackers/spyware and so on.

  EPUB is an under-appreciated format that I think can serve as a short to mid-term storage for human knowledge. Can reasonably re-flow itself when necessary, no language run-time required, just a full Unicode support at least at the level of the time the file was published. That's the Internet of knowledge I'd love to see: things organized in EPUB's, searchable and downloadable.
