Hi All I started to work on some personal project around epub again. Here is a very first little step - define epub as ts/js object. I will use it in my another project but please feel free to use it if it could benefit your project. Any feedback/issues are more than welcome. https://www.npmjs.com/package/epub-object-ts https://github.com/Jeffxz/epub-object-ts Side Notes: After all these years working on web browser and epub I started to believe there is some possibility of epub as application that could be executed offline. The application that not focusing on replicating physical publication such as pagination and TOC but to unleash the creativity of web content engineer could be a different concept for epub use cases (but still within epub spec scope). And recently I started my new journey to experiment this idea. Then what is a epub reader, right? Yes in this concept there is not any reader (since the package is not a book anymore). Web browser should be the main player. What should I call it? Single entry epub? Single page epub? I am not sure yet. If anyone would be interested in this concept please feel free to reach out to me we can discuss. Cheers, Zheng W3C: https://www.w3.org/users/129468 Github: https://github.com/Jeffxz
