Thanks for the links!
I've seen the advanced JavaScript usage samples, and tried to run a multi-file HTML version (in a zip) via Calibre, but if the conversion "works" on the PC (with glitches and broken links), it results in a reboot when I try to open the resulting LRF on the reader...
I'm not too hot on the advanced JavaScript version, given that it seems to suck the batteries. I'm also not really after the long Z-machine adventures, but shorter episodes, like the "Lone Wolf" series.
On the branching, yes, things can quickly grow out of hand, but in the gamebooks they also had that problem and worked around it by having the player remember/note down stuff, or carefully designing story forks, I could live with that. As for generating the pages, I'm not even considering doing this by hand, automated generation only, from a higher level database (so it would also pick dead-ends, etc.).
I'll have a look at custom LRF generation.
