sort of looking for a "Streaming" style like you can do with tvshows etc where it stays on the host PC.
The point is that ePub is not a serial format, so it is not really amenable to 'streaming'.

The only way I could see it working is if there was some sort of server side process that could convert the book to HTML and then deliver up the HTML pages on demand. However this is not something I have seen any references to anyone developing such a capability.
