Hi Jon, I was thinking more in terms of Flash/Flex, but that is one interesting aspect of AIR, is the ease of integration with other web technologies.
Adobe has been involved with ePub for reflowable documents, and I believe Adobe Digital Editions is written with Flex. http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops/index.htm The text enhancements and bidi support aren't scheduled for release until 2009 with Flex 4 though, putting a bit of a damper on using new and different layouts for the application. Some sort of SQLite cache definitely makes sense if it can handle the necessary schema. SQLite is popping up all over the place (iPhone, and offline data in Firefox, Safari, AIR) and could be a good system to adopt, though I'm not sure about using it with locked modules. - nathan On 17-Mar-08, at 7:17 AM, Jon Brisbin wrote: > I've considered doing an AIR-based Sword app that uses the public > domain texts as webservices on a central server.
