Simple way to extract sub-sections of a Publication

[clapierre]

User Story / Details

I am work in a DSO (Disability Service Office) or am a Teacher and want to give/assign a few pages or a chapter to a student. I would like to be able to have a convenient way to do this just like I can with PDF's.

Currently DSO's can extract the chapter or specific pages and hand the student a tagged PDF, but there is no way to do this with EPUBs, which is one of the blockers for mass adoption in higher education.

Considerations

• Copyright information would need to be preserved
• any specific fonts, CSS styling, Java Script needed
• Ability to create a mini-EPUB or a Web document that a student would be given a link to that would render the chapter / pages requested on any browser
