Why is 1,060 KB of JavaScript required to display this wonderful text page? Is there a way to read just the text without any interactive elements?

The Learn Enough tutorials use the Softcover system (http://softcover.io/), which stores the HTML on S3 and uses JavaScript to pull it in dynamically. The flexibility and convenience of Softcover come at the price of a little extra JavaScript—a price that, from my perspective, is well worth paying.
