in theory yes. the multiple renderings could share the same book "content"
(sequence of text, graphics and other(form) objects, which isn't
page-location/size specific) so the book itself wouldn't become N-times
larger.
I had asked this question of the Newton book developers (Pensee) a few
years ago, and they thought they had an example of multiple resolutions
that they were going to send me -- but I think they must have lost it. I
experimented via trial-and-error in Newt's Cape to create some test books
with multiple renderings but couldn't get the reader to work properly with
them.
