Hi Emmanuel,
thanks for that test. What I am really wondering about is EPUB. I did ask Erik at Wikimania if EPUB maybe is just all we need? I mean we need to be open here, no need for yet another format. Nevertheless, I don't know about it. So please, if someone could do this test with EPUB vs. ZIM I would be very much interested.

We at Pediapress have developed a prototypical epub export for the collection extension.
I just generated epub and zim files for the following collection:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book:American_History
The epub and zim files should contain the same images and otherwise the same content.
http://pediapress.com/files/epubvszim/book.epub http://pediapress.com/files/epubvszim/book.zim
Regarding filesize they are both pretty similar:
book.epub 21.589.212 bytes book.zim 23.500.867 bytes
I can't say anthing about file access times for epub but will my phone I have no performance problem when viewing the epub file.
