Could you build this?
Partial A basic multi-format reader is doable, but parsing multiple complex formats (EPUB, PDF, CBR/CBZ) while reliably chunking and bounding an LLM's context strictly to the user's exact reading position is challenging.
What it would actually take: Requires native mobile rendering engines for EPUB (readium/epubjs), PDF (PDFKit/MuPDF), and comic formats, alongside a localized embedding and indexing pipeline that chunks text by precise character/word offsets. When querying the AI, the backend or local vector DB must dynamically filter retrieval chunks strictly beneath the user's exact progress pointer (CFI or page offset) to guarantee zero plot spoilers across variable editions.
