That's fairly defeatist! There has to be a way to feed the HTML renderer just enough to keep it from choking under the weight of the book. You could have the e-book app break the text up into page-sized chunks (the user can specify this, and/or it can be specified in the text), and then just have a page turning button or auto-load the next page as you approach the bottom of the current page.
