I do see it's possible to run a lightweight webserver with php on Android. So my mostly files based CMS could (theoretically, I haven't tried) run on Android.

Then what I already have could be made to deliver book like contents now, even when not connected to the internet--in a way that ALREADY supports multi-media........within local storage limits anyway. Now that I think about it an Android web server that delivers book-like contents could also support a little home rolled DRM. If you wanted it.

The customer would have to install the webserver package and then download the source content, with a dynamically generated key of some sort, that they would ONLY get if (and only if) they also purchased a login key. None of that works now but I don't see why it wouldn't. And all of it would use existing technology, with no need to wait for enhanced ebook readers of the future or not-yet-existing epub3 DRM
