You might also be interested in our work on TiddlyDocs (http://www.tiddlydocs.com/), which is also somewhat about presenting long narrative content a chunk at a time...

TiddlyWiki as an eBook format: maybe call it "TiddlyBook"? The idea would be that each chapter existed as a tiddler, and thus clicking through to the next chapter would need to hide the just-read chapter. This added wrinkle of being able to keep some other tiddlers visible lends itself to display of footnotes and the like rather nicely. I hope ;-) I really like this idea, because it ties in with one of my own, which I cannot believe is entirely original but I haven’t seen anywhere else.

Some years ago I tried Photomesa, which I thoght was pretty interesting from the concept. If the software would offer more options (like Adobe Bridge for example) I'd use Photomesa today to view/search my photos. For such an application I find ZUI really great. For text-based docs like a (personal) wiki I'm not sure about it. Interesting concept in any case. For my use of TW I now added TiddlersBarPlugin. This works great for me most of the time. I can switch to the tiddlers I want/need fast or close "others" with a click. Regardless of the tabbed/ZUI or traditional TW-concept adding a back/forward function is useful always IMO. Hi Jeremy,

I experimented with opening new tiddlers at the top; it kind of makes sense when the link to the tiddler is in a menu or other sidebar, but doesn't feel right when you're clicking on a link within an existing tiddler. I've more recently been experimenting with multi-columnar displays via Cecily (http://www.osmosoft.com/cecily/). Hi Peter – Yes, getting the behaviour right is tricky.

Depending on the length of the new tiddler the beginning of the new tiddler will be at different positions (vertical) of the screen. So this will need time to locate the new tiddler. I can think of two ideas right now: 1) Position the new tiddler always at the top of the screen 2) to be able to see more tiddler a two coloumn layout springs to mind -- especially when considering the increasing use of widescreen displays. Best regards Peter Jeremy,

Even so, it still only gives you control over a single tiddler at a time. So instead of having the rolodex as an additional feature on the side, why not integrate it directly into the story?
