Ideally, I'd like a protocol such as Open URL ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_URL ), linking books on the device up to the bibliographies of other books that also happen to be on the device. For low CPU devices the links might have to be pre-calculated when connected to a desktop PC. I understand that Open URL can't actaully do this because it assumes the web. cheers stuart
