Javascript is the base of the p5.js library I am used to ; I wonder if by importing the Html code of a program written in this language into Sigil it could run it as an epub file.
I know it would be easier on a web page, but the idea would be rather to query the book form than just text as a stream.
There's nothing to find out, about KIM (Kindle in Motion/aka Animated Books). It was a private, closed system; used on a handful of books, literally, only and then put away. Never distributed to the spine/backbone of formatters, etc. that make eBooks for Amazon, so...it's moot. Those were basically javascript apps, not eBooks, that ran inside a wrapper that allowed them to work on about 30% of "Kindle" devices/readers.

It's been done now for two years, if not longer.
