The problem is trying to figure out what format fits our needs the best. Mobipocket is good, but it's too big to fit on a single file.

HTML works well, but there's no way to search without a web server.

A web server/mysql solution is too slow on the iLiad's hardware.

A custom pearl scripted solution doesn't provide a front end to search...

If there was an easy way to get it on the iLiad in a workable fashion, I'd be all for it (I have a quad core computer at home, I'd be glad to do any processing work). The problem is finding the best solution to this problem.
