Just look at examples like this: https://www.google.de/books/edition/Exploration_Map_by_Map/s...
You will realize that saying "PDFs should be only for printing" is a vast oversimplifcation for the requirements people have for different kinds of documents.

slighlty disagree with this. A fixed page layout has it's own advantages.
The reason we have more high quality pdf readers than epub readers is probrably connected to the format itself.
PDF readers usally are more more feature complete when it comes to stuff like annotations too.

> The media exists so that the narrative can be owned, manipulated
Thats also true for anyone else who is not part of the media.

Another interesting problem would be the generation of filler pictures (I don't know the correct term). Normally there is a person who draws keyframes at a much lower framerate. Other animators then fill in the frames between to increase the framerate.

Using get() is just bad style and so is returning null where you could return Collections.emptyList().

tl;dr: use map, orElseGet, orElse
There is a kindle version (which would be closer to epub than pdf) but it just is even worse than a pdf and the authors also include the reason for that:
> Due to the complex integration of images and text, this DK eBook has been formatted to retain the design of the print edition. As a result, all elements are fixed in place, but can easily be enlarged by using the pinch-to-zoom function.
EPUB is simply not ready for complex layouts.
