Opinion on Best Format for Text+Wordclouds
A personal journal project that makes use of wordclouds to index each entry has a concern about file size. The KFX is awfully large at 250 MB, and so is there a way to reduce the size? What bloats it most of all is the wordclouds being images in jpeg. Here are some things learned:
Using PDF for clouds and text takes the least amount of space because there is no need for image files anymore. The problem there is that the journal loses the enhanced typesetting, and more importantly, the Screen Reader doesn't work with PDF. Using SVG for the clouds in a KFX would have been fine, except that the Kindle vector graphics engine doesn't allow text directives for some reason. Converting the cloud to vector text outline polygons would defeat the purpose. Is there some format that would permit both the use of the screen reader and a vector graphics format that permits text? Or else, is there another way to draw a wordcloud without SVG? |

Amazon produces a different KFX image package for each book based on the capabilities of the reading device. E-ink Kindles will receive low resolution, black and white images. Other devices get better quality images, but in all cases the images are rasterized for KFX format. Quote:

It should work in Amazon's older KF8 (azw3) format. That format supports SVG without rasterization. Whether or not KF8 will work with a screen reader would depend on the reading device. |

Now I can listen to my thoughts while working in a crowded room, and the cloud gives me a feel for what's coming. |
