Caroline,

The books can be downloaded as a Zip file.  In the Zip file is a small 
website for offline reading.

I'm copying your question to the IAEP list because there has been some 
discussion about making the Browse Activity able to work with offline 
websites stored in Zip files.  This is actually a more popular format 
than you might think.  For instance, Project Gutenberg has a bunch of 
illustrated books in that format, for instance _The Innocents Abroad_ by 
Mark Twain is one.  It is reasonable to assume that some future version 
of Browse will be able to work with Zip files like this one.
