Very cool.  Thanks for doing this.  I have a suggestion for formatting that
I thought of Friday when I was stuck in a waiting room somewhere and ran out
of text in the book that I'm reading.  I only had enough memory to install
half of it, and I finished the half.  The suggestion is this: overlap
chapters in the sections.  So, if you have a 10 chapter book, split it up
like:

1-4
3-7
6-10

or something like that.  The point being that you have some buffer time
while you're in that last chapter or so to install the next segment which
also contains that chapter.  This way you don't find yourself leaving the
house in the morning with only a quarter chapter to go and unable to install
new chapters.

Just an idea.
