file viewing with bookmarks saving?

[Steve Holmes]

No one has the source code to readit for starters.  Several years ago,
I started on a visual basic implementation of readit for windows.  It
actually started coming a pretty long ways but... I then saw the light
and came over to linux and more or less abbandoned windows development
alltogether.  I never really felt that big a need for a readit program
under linux but if there is that much interest, perhaps I'll look into
doing something about it.  I think the biggest thing about readit was
a continuous read-to-end feature and bookmarks - each for separate
files.  It also had a directory/file manager but you can do that now
with dired under emacs.  See, if I use dired and use bookmarks for
emacs, I have just about everything readit had except for reading
continuously and possibley some more advanced search capability.

What's this about reading DAISY for reading under linux? I just signed
up for bookshare and All I'm aware of is having to dump the file into
an HTML format with no navigable links.  For a guy who loves his hyper
text, this doesn't work so well.
