For some reason PaperBack has gotten a couple mentions recently on Bruce Sterling's "Beyond the Beyond" blog and on extemetech, so I thought I'd poke this old thread... (please forgive me)

My latest attempts at storing large amounts of data in a small space use a zoomable user interface (ZUI) and readily available or open source apps. The best I can do is fit 1200 words of text in a 156 KB bitmap file. My goals were: easy selection and viewing and fast access.

Eagle Mode (ZUI) v 0.84.0 livecd (from sourceforge) has a practically infinite desktop with file structure and names in SVG that show all drives and files. Navigation is fast and clicking on a file allows zooming in on the contents. My test file was a monochrome bitmap saved with MS Paint from a Windows PrtScr of a screen full of 'test' random letter, five letter words of 6pt Courier New, 24 words by 50 lines.
