why turn books into markdown when theres formats dedicated to render books already?
storying books as nip-23 events doesnt seem very pratical, especially books with images, charts, footnotes/citations something that book formats handle really well
using comics as an example of reading material that couldnt work as markdown, a nostr reading app could look something like tachiyomi/mihon (a comic/manga reader) where instead of connecting to directories of hosted sources it'd just be a list of npubs reading off notes pointing where the content is hosted instead ๐ค

Markdown because it is a format that works with NIP-23. The vast majority of books need only the most basic markdown (if that). No extension or deviation from the spec is needed.
Anything with images is a different matter, comic idk much about, but they are normally specific formats right?
yeah, nostr's replacement for any online library is probably NIP35 torrent posts, not NIP23 long text
