file viewing with bookmarks saving?

[Steve Holmes]

Some of the books such as the O'Reily ones are only in DAISY and not
anything else.  Hence the need for parsing the XML or whatever.  I
know little or nothing much about DAISY right now except for some of
the navigation aspects.  It was mentioned in another message that
bookshare was mainly concerned about page navigation; not sure if that
meant only between pages or what.  I would especially find chapter and
section navigation as well as jumping off from a table of contents to
be of great importance.

DAISY reader for linux? <hmmm> that could be an interesting project.
I'm really not qualified to go and write another web browser but
parsing the XML code to something meaningful perhaps?  Gee, even if I
could translate into navigable HTML document for starters would be
better than what we have right now.
