Description
Problem
When browsing a book online, if we don't want to download it, it'd be nice for it to still work without internet access.
It's possible with Service workers.
https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/pull/1000 proposed a first implementation of it.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Service Worker API documentation and rust-lang/mdBook pull request 1000. Compare that proposed implementation with current book browsing behavior and identify the integration points it relied on. Done means a generated book remains usable offline without requiring the reader to download it.
