Looking for: Large Text Viewer

[rubboferraro]

Hi all,

Not wanting to usurp this thread about large text viewers:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643283

I thought I would post my own. I have numerous ebooks and would like to combine them all in my own digital library.

Naturally I am not only after a large text viewer but also one that has an inbuilt search function and the ability to categorize documents.

I checked out geany as suggested by the previous thread posters and it has exactly the layout I need but it is for programming - not reading novels.

I'm sure one that used html or xml, like browsable/searchable websites wouldn't be hard to create but I don't know if they exist.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Lorenzo.

I wonder if the application fbreader might be useful for you,
but it can probably be useful in general.
"FBReader is an e-book reader for various platforms.", says its homepage.

I am using fbreader, not on Ubuntu, but on Nokia N800 linux "internet tablet", a pocket linux system. and for my limited use it proved excellent.

I visited the page of fbreader,
http://www.fbreader.org/
and found that there is a Debian/Ubuntu information there:
