A personal journal project that makes use of wordclouds to index each entry has a concern about file size. The KFX is awfully large at 250 MB, and so is there a way to reduce the size? What bloats it most of all is the wordclouds being images in jpeg. Here are some things learned:
Using PDF for clouds and text takes the least amount of space because there is no need for image files anymore. The problem there is that the journal loses the enhanced typesetting, and more importantly, the Screen Reader doesn't work with PDF.
Using SVG for the clouds in a KFX would have been fine, except that the Kindle vector graphics engine doesn't allow text directives for some reason. Converting the cloud to vector text outline polygons would defeat the purpose.
Is there some format that would permit both the use of the screen reader and a vector graphics format that permits text? Or else, is there another way to draw a wordcloud without SVG?
