My little e-book reader
Formats: EPUB.
Was annoyed with sluggishness of most e-book readers available, this works but... it's sluggish. Seems to be the way I process the HTML is the problem, I switched from my own code to html2text + iconv + writing and reading to and from files while converting. Before I simply stripped all <> tags.
TODO
- improve html -> plaintext conversion
- extract the title of the books (EPUB) for display in the library list instead of filename
- select text while reading
- save snippets (where to store them?)
- add comments
- dictionary lookup of selected word
- MOBI support
- non-terminal user interface
