Show HN: A new way to read books, magnifying in and out

After watching The Odyssey, I thought it would be cool to check out some scenes from the source in detail, but I don't have time to read the whole book.
So I came up with a sort of zoom/microscope, that allows to see the whole book at a glance and then zoom in (by pinching) on the part I'm interested in. I can do so down to the actual source text and get the authentic feel the author intended, at the same time I better understand where am I in the text and also the character and places are clickable so I can quickly orient myself on the context. Moreover each character has relationships listed and a map of relationships can be opened from there https://book.curiora.space/relations/
