Hi John Besides using TiddlyWiki itself as an alternative distribution format to ePub, it is also possible to generate ePub files from TiddlyWiki.
As you may now, an ePub file is actually a ZIP file containing a fairly ordinary website with HTML, CSS and images. So, under Node.js one could use TiddlyWiki to generate the static site, and then write a batch file to zip it up and rename it. With a bit more work, we could make the ePub export process be seamless in the browser; we can use jszip to create the zip file. Thus, you could keep your authoring environment as TiddlyWiki while still support iBooks users who want a static ePub.
