HTML documents are a very convenient format for on-line text, and make the document far more accessable than a single large plain text file. One major advantage of the HTML format is that it allows smaller sections of text, such as chapters, to be retrieved, thus greatly reducing access time. This makes lunch or break time access quick and easy.
A feature invented just for these HTML versions is the chapter Link which is intended to be used as a bookmark. While reading other HTML books it was noticed that to add the next chapter to the hotlist it was necessary to download it first. This seemed wasteful and inspired the idea of providing a very small link file that may be downloaded and added to the hotlist. Then to access the next chapter at a later time the small link file is downloaded (quickly because of its small size) and used to retrieve the desired chapter. If one chapter is read in each session the bookmark concept can cut down the total number of bytes transferred to read the entire book by a factor of very close to 2. The main drawback to the bookmark idea is that they make the HTML book a bit harder to port to a new site, if that should be necessary, since each bookmark file must contain the full address of the chapter to be retrieved.
