I have a netbook running Linux and a large collection of computer books and reference material as HTML. I'd like some compact way of storing these books which can be browed without unpacking them first. This would save space and reduce wear on my small SSD.
If there was some way to convince Firefox to browse files contained in ZIP file, this would be ideal. (I know iCab (Mac) had a web archive format that worked this way.) Perhaps a Firefox plugin? A small web server that can serve directly from ZIP files? Some magic FUSE module? Does anyone have any ideas?
On my PDA (which the netbook is largely replacing) I used iSilo for this, but it's not available for Linux, its conversions are lossy and it costs money.
