For some odd reason, plain text seems to come out nearly microscopic in size.

I'm not certain that my above statement was clear. I meant that the ".txt" files that I tried to read on my Nook Color came out with very small characters. But I am still trying to learn how to do things on it.

I love the HTML reader on the NC. I just wish I could force the content to stay on the screen. HTML docs seem to stay on the screen better when I'm in landscape mode.

Maybe they need to come out with a variation of EPUB that uncompresses the table of contents and keeps each chapter compressed until you want to read it.

A feature to search within a compressed book (or compressed chapters) shouldn't be impossible, there are already utilities that let you search for a word in a compressed file.

The unzipping is not done by the ePub file itself, but by the software reading it. There's no reason that the software couldn't keep the TOC in memory after unzipping, but once the file is unzipped, it would be strange to delete the unzipped copy. They should be keeping the unzipped file in a temporary storage area somewhere, and reading from that.

Most people reading novels never use the TOC, I bet. They just start at the beginning, and keep reading until they are done.

True enough, I don't bother with the TOC when I'm reading a book. I just mentioned unzipping specific chapters as a possible future method to handle large reference books, like the Bible, mentioned by AZdave.

Sorry about my poorly worded comments, I understand that NC uses Adobe Digital Editions to display epub files. I'm guessing that B&N selected ADE to handle digital rights management, which isn't a concern with me as I am busy reading public domain books.

You could use calibre to convert it to .mobi.
