Could be a pretty good tech. approach. Nevertheless, that means

Hi,
is this maybe also useful for ZIM - to make ZIM readers which are
working cross-platform?
As far as I understood phonegap is mainly a framework to create mobile
apps based on HTML 5. At least the display of ZIM contents should be
simple then as we just need a HTML widget for that.
But what about libraries needed to read file contents, such as zimlib? I
couldn't find out if Phonegap itself supports native file access (so we
could re-implement ZIM features with that) or if it allows the use of
native libraries.
