I expect they're gonna be getting a cease and desist letter from Candy Crush, which owns that trade mark on 'candy'.

If this .js stores the data in the ebook, does that mean that it changes the ebook? If it is a DRMed ebook, which means it is encrypted, how are they going to accomplish this?

This must only work in Apple/Android/Windows, because I don't see it working on Kindle/Kobo without participation from Amazon/Kobo.
