Ah, I see. I was thinking in like an EPUB type format...

Someone should make an EPUB reader for calcs...

That's actually a good idea. Maybe I'll try it sometime...

You can use TI-Doc for example. It even supports images to insert into your text file :)
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

I've done it before, but it's not something I do very often. My tool of choice is Flashbook. It creates a stand-alone app, supports sizes up to all of Flash, and supports compression, too.
For anyone interested in lojban, I created a version of the reference guide. It's attached to this post. (Warning: it comes in at about 600KB, as I recall, probably making it 83+SE/84+SE only)

It's something I've considered, but I've never tried before on any of my Calcs. Could be interesting, especially on a TI-nspire. I used to read ebook txts on my MP4 before I put solder over a part that made it incapable of outputting sound (I could still read ebooks on it I guess).

They should only be a few KB at most right? Unless it's a long text.

I have never read any eBook on my calc. The only one I ever checked already had the entire text written in the calcg.org description and it was 50 fun things to do at Walmart.
